Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
To start, into a non stick pan over a medium to hight heat add in your Bacon (11 slices). You want the bacon to get crispy but not totally dry out - we still want some juiciness there. Keep mixing it around over that heat for several minutes or until the fat renders down and the bacon starts to foam a little.
