One slice of bacon is one slice of bacon, no matter how it's prepared.

Because of bacon's high fat content, which may or may not come off during cooking, that statement is not correct, by a significant margin.

Bacon is a food where preparation definitely makes a difference.

One slice of bacon is one slice of bacon, no matter how it's prepared.
The only way a slice will vary in calories is if you use a different brand (which may use larger slices) or use different cooking oil (butter, olive oil, etc.)
Eating a hard boiled egg will have the same amount of calories as a raw egg used in cookie dough. How you prepare the food will change the nutrition, not how you cook it.
So log your slice of bacon, then account for whether or not you added stuff to it while cooking.

If bacon is cooked on something that allows the fat to drain off, it will have less calories than bacon cooked in it's own grease, or in added oil. If bacon is set on paper towels to soak up some of the grease before eating, it will have less calories than if not. The more of the fat that makes it into your mouth, the higher the calorie count.

Maybe that's close to being true if you're talking about Canadian bacon. Otherwise...

According to the USDA a raw 28 gram slice of cured pork bacon has 117 calories, while a pan-fried slice weighs in at 11.5 grams and has only 54 calories. The exact number of calories will vary by the brand and the thickness of the slice, but there'll always be substantially fewer calories per slice if preparation involves rendering the fat and leaving most of it behind. The nutrition panels on packages of raw pork bacon typically specify pan-fried slices for a reason. That's the way they expect most of it to be eaten.

It should be logged raw if you're using the bacon in a recipe that retains all of the fat. And rendered bacon grease used to season other foods should be logged at 120 calories per tablespoon, like any other oil.
