Baking Bacon

As redundant as that sounds, it is a life saver!!  It doesn't smell up the house as much, and cooks it quite better than on the stove top!  Enjoy!

Baked Bacon
Recipe from: Our Best Bites
1.  Turn on your oven to 400 degrees.  Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.  Use heavy duty if you have it. Lay out bacon slices in a single layer.  They can be close together, just avoid overlap.  You can also lay a metal cooling rack in your pan and lay the bacon on top of that.  Personally I think it tastes way better when it cooks up in its own drippings!

2.  You don’t need to wait for your oven to preheat.  Place pan in the oven for about 12-15 minutes.  Watch bacon after that and cook until desired level of crispiness.   I like  mine on the crispy side so I cook it for about 15-17 minutes.  Cooking time depends on the thickness of the slice as well.

3.  Immediately remove bacon from pan and place on paper towels to soak up grease.
