  • Don't overcrowd the grill: Give the bacon and onion slices plenty of space so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the bacon over medium heat: This will help to prevent the bacon from burning or drying out.
  • Flip the bacon and onion slices halfway through cooking: This will ensure that they cook evenly on both sides.
  • Don't overcook the bacon: Bacon is best when it is cooked to a slightly crispy but still tender texture.
  • Serve the bacon and onion appetizers immediately: They are best enjoyed hot off the grill.
