Just don't burn it.
Nothing sadder than burnt bacon.

I smoked some thick cut bacon today. It's my favorite way of cooking bacon. 225 for about 2 hours.
In the oven ona rimmed tray is my next favorite.
The real question is how crispy do you like bacon. I like mine with a little chew.

Sadly, most restaurants deep fry it nowadays.
I smoked some bacon once, but could not keep it lit!
50 Shades of Kevin Bacon…
I don’t really care how it’s cooked, as long as you clean up the grease afterwards.

I don't like electric appliances for roasting meat. Gas or coal only. I like it crispy for hamburgers or sandwiches. When eating it as part of a mixed dish, I prefer it less burnt.
Being a southerner, I’m quite partial to the tried and true method of frying in an open well-seasoned Lodge cast iron skillet over a medium-low flame, preferably accompanied with an iron bacon press. I love my bacon in the ”slightly leathery but not burnt” department, and don’t toss the grease, at least not until after you’ve fried your eggs in it!
Always save the bacon grease and do cook eggs in it.
I bake my bacon with the same method as well sometimes. Though I love frying on cast iron.
Also, as many ways are there to cook bacon, there are also many cuts of bacon. Try the steak cut bacon. Super thick - and if do it right it’s chewy and crispy
I find that the oven is just a good as the frying pan.
Turned the bacon I smoked yesterday into a hot honey chicken club with fresh mozzarella drizzled with a balsamic glaze and Grillo's hot pickle spears.
Thou shall not burn bacon should have been the 11th commandment.
Although for the Hebrews it would have been turkey bacon...
Don’t forget about beef bacon!
Way better than that turkey nonsense. Idk every time I’ve tried turkey bacon - it just stinks in the packaging
Back before beef ribs went full re re in price, I used to by racks and racks. My son and I would eat the ribs, dogs got the bones.
I would trim the fat off those ribs and smoke it into beef bacon. I love that stuff! Once I hit 50 I had to eat it with bread or take some tums, though. Getting older sucks.
Edit: I won't eat turkey bacon. It's shite. I just said it because of the Kosher laws. lol
