Description

Cooking bacon on the grill is a THING! And I've got you covered with some great tips and tricks! Forget the greasy mess on your stove top and learn how to grill bacon.


Ingredients

  • Thick-cut or "butcher's cut" bacon (regular bacon will be too thin and flimsy to withstand the heat of the grill)

Instructions

  1. Heat a grill to medium-high heat. Turn the heat down to medium. Lay the bacon slices out on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes. Turn the grill to low heat and flip the bacon with long tongs; cook for another 1-2 minutes. Take note: If the grill is too hot, there will be flare-ups from the bacon drippings. Keeping the heat low once you flip the bacon or turning at least one of the burners off will help reduce flare-ups. Make sure you watch the bacon carefully after you flip it as it will cook quickly at this point and will burn easily.
  2. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and use as desired.
