Crispy Bacon - In a Cast Iron Skillet

Step 1: Place Bacon strips close together in a cold heavy cast iron skillet, you can overlap a bit but don't crowd.

Step 2: Turn the burner on medium and let the bacon cook. Don't touch it until the fat is partly rendered.

Step 3: Pour off the excess fat and turn over the strips. Cook until the fat renders off again then pour off the excess fat once more.

Step 4: Cook the bacon a bit more, turning if needed, until there are white bubbles present. Take the bacon out and let crisp on paper towels.
