Crispy Fried Bacon Recipe

Crispy Fried Bacon Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 8–10 slices of bacon (or however many you want)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the pan: Place a cold skillet on the stove. Lay the bacon strips in a single layer—don’t overlap.
  2. Cook slowly: Turn the heat to medium-low. Let the bacon cook slowly so the fat renders out and the meat gets crispy.
  3. Flip occasionally: Use tongs to turn the bacon every few minutes for even cooking.
  4. Check crispiness: Cook until golden brown and crispy (usually 8–12 minutes depending on thickness).
  5. Drain: Transfer cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess grease.
  6. Serve: Enjoy hot!

Optional Tips:

  • For extra crispy bacon, press it gently with a spatula while cooking.
  • Keep the bacon fat for frying eggs or potatoes—it’s delicious.
  • If you like, you can sprinkle a tiny bit of brown sugar or black pepper before cooking for a sweet or spicy twist.
