Servings: 7
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients

  • 12 oz bacon

Instructions

  • Remove the bacon from the fridge 15 minutes prior to cooking to allow it to come to room temperature.
  • Cut the bacon slices in half. This will ensure that the bacon slices are not too long for the pan. Arrange the slices on a cast iron skillet so that they do not overlap.
  • Turn on the heat to medium. Not preheating the pan allows the fat in the bacon to render slowly yielding more consistent results.
  •  Cook for 8 – 12 minutes, turning at least once in between.
  • Remove to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the additional grease. 
  • Serve immediately.
