Instructions
Place bacon slices in a COLD skillet. Try not to overlap the slices too much, but it shrinks so no need to worry about the bacon being crowded.
4 slices Bacon
Barely cover the bacon with cold water. You can always pour off extra or add more water if needed.
½ cup Water
On high heat, bring the water to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium and cook until the bacon is crisp and tender, flipping after the first side has crisped. Adjust the amount of water as needed. Top with optional ingredients if desired.
brown sugar, black pepper, red chili flakes
Drain on paper towels, if desired.
Notes
Hint: If you find there is too much water, just pour some off. Likewise, if the skillet is dry and a ways from being cooked through, add a splash of water. Then let the water evaporate to brown your bacon.
