Bacon Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    Take 10 strips of bacon and lay them flat on a cutting board.

  2. 2

    Season the Bacon

    Sprinkle 1 tsp of black pepper evenly over the bacon strips. If desired, also sprinkle 0.5 tsp of red pepper flakes for some heat.

  3. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet, place the seasoned bacon strips over medium heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until crispy and golden brown.

  4. 4

    Add Maple Syrup

    Once the bacon is cooked to your liking, reduce the heat to low and drizzle 2 tbs of maple syrup over the bacon, allowing it to caramelize slightly for 1-2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove and Serve

    Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease. Serve warm.
