Tip

Thick-cut bacon is recommended, as thinner bacon may stick to the grill and can be more difficult to remove when cooked.

Step 2: Place the Bacon

Leave some space between each strip of bacon as you place it. Smaller George Foreman Frills can fit 3 strips of bacon.

Step 3: Cover and Cook

Pull the lid down over the bacon, and allow it to cook until it reaches desired crispiness. For tender bacon, cook about 3 to 5 minutes. For crispy bacon, cook about 5 to 8 minutes.

Step 1: Prepare the Grill

Step 2: Place the Balls of Dough

Evenly space the dough balls on top of the foil so the cookies have room to spread. Small Foremans can fit 6 balls of dough.
