Ingredients
- Venison bacon (smoked or cured; check the package to determine whether it is fully cooked)
Instructions
- Check the venison bacon package to determine whether it is fully cooked and ready to eat or requires cooking. Follow the producer's instructions.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat.
- Place the venison bacon in the skillet. The original method does not call for adding extra fat.
- Cook for approximately 6 to 8 minutes per side, turning the pieces over. Cooking time is an estimate, not a substitute for checking doneness.
- If the bacon is not labeled fully cooked, use a food thermometer and cook ground venison bacon (including ground venison-and-pork blends) to at least 160°F. If fully cooked, reheat according to the package directions.
- Serve while still tender; avoid excessive heat that can dry out the lean bacon.
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 12 to 16 minutes
