How to Cook Bacon on Blackstone Griddle

1. Place the strips of bacon on preheated griddle with enough space between so that they are not touching each other.
2. Cook bacon for about 3-5 minutes on each side. Bacon from the griddle will have an even, golden-brown color once it is cooked through. The edges and insides will be crispy.
3. Remove cooked slices from the Blackstone and place on a plate layered with paper towels to soak up excess grease.
4. Serve immediately.

I love when breakfast is just as easy as it is tasty. This bacon has become a favorite in our house on the weekends for brunch and even sometimes during the week!

How to Store Leftover Bacon

Fridge: Store leftover bacon in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Freezer: Lay cooked bacon in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze before storing in an airtight container or freezer bag. Separate layers with parchment paper. Reheat from frozen or thaw in the fridge overnight.

Reheat leftover bacon by popping the slices in the microwave until warm. Cover with paper towel to avoid grease splattering in your microwave!
