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.
