Slice the slab of bacon into thin, chip-like pieces.
Arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on dehydrator racks, ensuring they do not overlap.
Place the racks in a dehydrator and cook until the bacon is crispy and chip-like. (Note: A common setting is 160°F for 6-10 hours).
Once crispy, remove the bacon chips and let them cool before serving.
Store cooled bacon chips in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months; reheat briefly in a 250°F oven if they soften.
