    How to Cook Bacon on the George Foreman Grill: I love bacon – but what I don’t love is the mess of cooking it! Keep the grease contained by cooking up your bacon on a George Foreman Grill and watch it turn out perfectly delicious.

    I’ve already showed how to cook bacon in the air fryer, and I wanted to explore what other great ways there are.

    If you don’t eat pork, you can easily cook up turkey bacon in the oven as well. Any way you slice it, adding protein to your morning, or with breakfast for dinner, is the perfect pick-me-up!

    Why You’ll Love This Recipe

    • New uses: How many of you have a George Foreman around that you aren’t utilizing? Here’s a great way to pick it back up!
    • Choose your doneness: It’s really easy to keep an eye on things here to achieve your favorite level of crispiness.
    • Ready in only 10 minutes: Most bacon will be done in 10 minutes, depending on thickness.

    Ingredients Needed

    I’ve highlighted a couple of ingredients below with some relevant notes. Aside from this, the ingredients needed are pretty basic.

    • Bacon – Thick or thin, smoked, peppered, the sky’s the limit. Whatever bacon you enjoy (or whatever is on sale this week) will work here.

    Equipment

    Much like the various air fryers out there, there are several types of George Foreman grills. Some have temperature controls and some don’t. Mine is a larger one with a temperature dial, so that’s what I’m using to walk you through this method.

    How to Make Indoor Grilled Bacon

    You can make bacon ahead and reheat in the microwave. You can also cook it up right when you need it since it’s so fast!

    *Be sure to see the recipe card below for the full ingredients list & instructions!*

    George Foreman preheated to 425 degrees.

    STEP 1. Preheat grill. I’m going with 425° to achieve my perfect crispness.

    Tip: If your grill is narrow, go ahead and slice your bacon in half so it fits!

    STEP 2. Line it up. Add bacon in a single layer. It’s ok if it touches some as it will shrink up and apart. Just don’t overlap too much or they will fuse together when cooking.

    STEP 3. Drain. Once cooked, remove to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain off any excess grease.

    Recipe Pro Tips

    • Roll your bacon. Open the package, and gently roll the bacon up from the short edge. This will help the slices separate easily!
    • Correct temperature. Allow the grill to fully preheat before cooking.

    Recipe FAQs

    Can you make bacon on the George Foreman?

    It’s so easy – because there’s a lid, splatters are contained. Most models also have a convenient drip tray for catching grease. Remember to check the tray between adding new slices of bacon, to be sure it doesn’t overflow.

    How long do you grill bacon for?

    Start checking at 8 minutes if you like your bacon soft, or if it’s a thinner cut. Try at 10-12 for crispy bacon. And, there’s no need to flip! Your grill is cooking and pressing from both sides!

    What temperature do you cook bacon on the George Foreman grill?

    I like 425°. That seems to be the sweet spot for cooking through to crispy without burning any edges.

    What to Serve with Grilled Bacon

    Of course, you can easily serve this alongside scrambled eggs or pancakes. Add to breakfast sandwiches, breakfast egg rolls, or burritos.

    Storage

    Once your package of bacon is open, I recommend cooking it all at once. You don’t want to have to deal with raw meat in the fridge.

    Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. You can easily reheat a slice for 10-15 seconds on paper towel in the microwave.
