Turn the George Foreman on before placing the bacon on the grill. Place the fat-catching dish beneath the Foreman grill and place the slices of bacon on the heated grill. Close the grill and allow the bacon to cook for three or four minutes, depending on how rare or crispy you like your bacon. Open the grill and flip the bacon slices over. To prevent the hot bacon fat from popping on your skin once you open the grill, wear an oven mitt or long-sleeve shirt. Cook the bacon for another two or three minutes and serve.
