We don’t do “leftover” bacon in our house. Oh, it’s all gone in a flash of an eye! It is also an enormous hit with everyone in my family – my kids love it, my husband loves it, and quite honestly, so do I! Eggs and bacon are a classic for us, almost to the point where at this point it’s a tradition to eat it for breakfast. I like to let the bacon get as crispy as possible because, let’s be honest, crispy bacon is delicious, and I don’t get disappointed faces from my kids when one of them gets the crispier one than the other. But sometimes it doesn’t come out quite as crispy as I’d like. It’s still good, of course, but if you’re a bacon lover like me, the crunchiness is just everything.
Then, I was informed of this secret for achieving the crunchiest bacon, and let me tell you, this is the way to cook bacon. And it does take some flour, and a lot of time, but the results are, of course, worthwhile. This is something life-altering I wanted to tell you. And honestly, it will make your whole family appreciate you more when you cook them this. I SWEAR!
