I've found the absolute best way to cook bacon - even the cheaper brands.
You're gonna need 3 beers a pound of bacon and a propane grill.
Turn on the grill and set the flame as low as possible - as low as possible.
Open a beer and put as many strips of bacon on the grill as convenient without overlaps. Leave the grill open, do not put any cover over the bacon.
As the bacon heats up, it should get pussy. This puss is a slight whitish substance that forms on the top of the strips. If you don't see this puss, the heat is too high.
When the first beer is gone, open the second. By now you have turned the bacon over 2 or three times, which is totally unnecessary. You really only need to turn it once, but what the heck, it's something to do.
We have our own tastes as to when the bacon is done. Some like it crispy, some like it limpy some like it in-between. My preferance is just a tad into the third beer.
I put my cooked strips on a paper towel as I take them off the grill. There is considerable shrinkage evident at this point and actually very little bacon butter (you may call it grease?). This is because it's all been turned into flavor.
If you haven't 'test tasted' all the bacon yet, put your BLT together while finishing off number 3.
Then maybe another beer with your BLT?
Don't forget to turn off the grill.
