Whether you throw some bacon on the grill and then keep in the fridge for an easy breakfast during the week or you just want to tackle grilling a burger and cooking the bacon all in the same place, it’s a great way to add a bit of extra character to any meal. And it keeps the cleanup to a minimum which is always a huge plus.

So what do you need to know to make this incredible idea a reality? Keep reading, because we have all of the answers for you in today’s blog.

Step One: Buy Propane Tank

If you’ve been wondering where to buy a propane tank for your gas grill, look no further. With several propane tank exchange locations in the United States, the team at Mighty Flame is here to help. When you grab a propane tank, there’s no shortage of awesome new foods just waiting to be cooked.

As a matter of fact, we have several blogs in a series entitled “Buy a Propane Tank and Start Cooking” that highlight just how easy it is to make great meals whether you have a lot of experience with cooking or you’re just getting started, so head on over to our blog archive page to learn more!

Step Two: Prep Your Bacon and Your Grill

This part is easy–grab the bacon of your choice (our preference is some nice thick-cut bacon) and lay it on your grill in the opposite direction your grates are running. The key is to cook your bacon over lower heat, so whether you do that by turning the temperature of your grill down or by implementing a hot side and a cool side of your grill is up to you entirely. As a matter of fact, you may want to try both methods and see which works better for your particular grill and the type of bacon you’ve chosen.

One other thing to consider is potentially cooking your bacon in some aluminum foil to prevent any flair ups as the grease drips off, but again, whether or not you do this will depend on what kind of grill you have and what kind of results you’d like to achieve at the end of the day. Alternatively, you could invest in a roasting pan that’s made specifically for fatty foods that are grilled. It’s a great way to make sure that you get the best of both worlds.

Either way, we’re sure that once you get a taste of bacon on the grill, it will be one of your go-to methods for cooking up a batch.

Step Three: Enjoy!

If you’re cooking up a burger or two, throwing a few strips of bacon on the grill is an easy way to get everything done all in one go instead of having to heat up the house by turning on the oven. Whether you prefer a classic bacon cheeseburger or you’re going all out by making some guacamole and mushrooms to throw on top as well, we think you’ll agree that cooking bacon on the grill is a great way to go that saves you time and effort.

Or, of course, you could grab a few strips of bacon, slice them in half, and then wrap them around asparagus for an awesome side dish if you’re grilling a steak or some barbecue chicken. Bacon and grilling go hand in hand, so get creative and enjoy!
