Bacon on George Foreman

In years past my husband has done the Atkins diet for the main purpose of losing weight, and he always loved it because he is a meat eater.  Recently he got to looking into the Atkins diet for health purposes.  He had heard some about sugars playing a role in cancer, and looked into what studies with the Atkins diet stated.  Having a kidney cancer a couple years ago really had him interested in this.  I wouldn't say we are big on studies at all, because every study has it's good, bad, and opinion.  With this one though, my husband made a decision that he's not going to eat a bunch of carbs the rest of his life.  So with any change of diet you begin to ask yourself what am I going to eat now.  So I have been preparing eggs in muffin cups for him to have for breakfast, but knew some different options were needed.  So I thought about trying to cook bacon on the George, and it turned out to be a good idea.  I can not stand frying bacon due to the grease popping and hitting me, and baking it in the oven is a whole big mess even when placing foil on baking sheet.  This leaves me loving cooking it on the George because grease is not popping everywhere and it's draining into the tray.  No it's not as good as frying it but it's really not bad at all and it's still crunchy.  It is time consuming, taking probably an hour or little more to cook a 3lb package, but it makes for easy breakfast throughout the week.  Take what you want place it in oven for bout 3-5 minutes and you have crispy fresh like bacon!

Took pictures with my phone so they are not very good
