Ingredients

Instructions
For the Bacon:
- Stovetop: Place bacon in a cold skillet, then cook over medium heat, flipping occasionally until crisp.
- Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, place bacon on top, and bake for 15-20 minutes or until desired crispiness is reached.
For the Sausage:
- Skillet (links or patties): Cook over medium heat, turning occasionally until browned and cooked through. Break patties into crumbles if desired.
- Skillet (ground sausage): Brown ground sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain off any excess grease.
Notes
- Drain both the bacon and sausage on paper towels or a wire rack to remove excess grease.
- For extra flavor, you can sprinkle brown sugar over the bacon before cooking.
- Feel free to season your sausage with herbs and spices like sage, thyme, or fennel.
