Morphology
The meaning 'bacon cooked until it becomes firm and crunchy' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'crispy' (firm, brittle, makes a sound) with 'bacon' (cured pork). This adjective+noun composition is literal and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Crispy bacon is a simple food image: bacon is fried until it is crispy, when the fat melts away and the strips become firm and crunchy. That's why it means 'bacon that is cooked until it becomes firm and crunchy'.
