So... How do I cook bacon on the stove top?

So I am a college student that doesn't know how to cook anything other than a brisket and TV dinners... 
 
I used to microwave bacon but I through my microwave away a few months ago.... 
 
I have a skillet, butter, and bacon...  Can I combine these to cook bacon? 
 
If so...  Is it just as easy as butter up the skillet, plop the bacon down and put it on low heat? 
 
Thanks for the help duders.

1. Put the bacon in the pan.
2. Cook it until it's cooked.

with how much grease cooks off the bacon, butter or margarine isnt even needed.. that grease then goes on to cook very delicious eggs.
The heat and time cooked all depends how cooked you like it? crispy with no fat or cooked with some fat left?

Sweet, thanks fellas.  Bacon will be mine soon.

I dont have any olive oil or anything like that... :(  I could go buy some... but seems like a waste if I'm just going to use it for bacon once every few weeks...  Could I substitute butter? :P "

If you don't have olive oil then butter will do just fine. You just need something that will stop the bacon sticking to the skillet.
Move about just enough so they don't stick and flip every so often. Cook until it's as crispy as you like.

Yep, don't need nuthin cept a hot piece of iron and bacon.

Start the pieces in a cold pan (don't preheat). Really low heat, nice and slow. Flip after a while and wait till you see the white bubbles forming. Can do it a bit longer at that point if you like it crispier.
 
Don't need any oil, just let it cook in the fat once it gets going :)

Wait...you can microwave bacon? 
 
That just seems wrong.

I apologize for not eating bacon more..?  Nah fuck that lol..  Sorry I have had my parents cook for me between birth and 18 and then my fiancée cooked for me from 18-21...    Before the last month or so I have literally cooked nothing. "

I don't eat bacon, but i still know how to cook it.  You need any tips on making toast? "

You got any beer?  Of course you do, what I am saying.  Pour some beer in the pan, heat it up and then toss the bacon in.

Nope.   Also how are you a successful college student? Just curious not trying to be mean, just wondering what makes a collage student successful. "

Yeah. You don't know if your successful until you graduate and see the job offers rolling in. Also i'm an Engineer so i don't care if you make fun of my spelling. "

" so! i need results man! did you burn the house down! tell "

You don't add anything when you cook it. The bacon has fat in it which releases a grease when it heats up. Just put the bacon in the pan, let it sit on one side for 3-4 minutes, until it's cooked however you like it, then flip and do the same for the other side. 
 
Congrats, you just got +1 Bacon.

still cookin...    if i dont post anymore tonight its because the bacon killed me.  :( "

Just finished cooking.  :)   
 
It took so long cuz I had the stove on low... and the burner I had it on for like 5 minutes doesn't produce any heat...  
 
But damn...  Steaks and ribs for the price of hot pocket...  Damn I need to learn to cook. 
 
I cooked a few briskets this month but they were not nearly as tender as I wanted them to be.

DELICIOUS.   
 
Nice and crispy. 
 
100x better than microwave bacon.

This man is my hero!

" 1. Put the bacon in the pan. 2. Cook it until it's cooked. "

Next time cook bacon topless. You obviously don't want your clothes to smell like bacon, do you?
 
You're welcome.

If your skillet has a top or lid and the bacon is frozen put a small amount of water in teh skillet with teh frozen bacon then cover teh skillet. This will create steam which will accelerate the melting.  I hate cooking half my bacon while the other half is still waiting to thaw.

Why without a shirt on of course!

Was I seriously the only one who microwaved his bacon before the BLLSL? "
