Bacon? Bakin'!

I have discovered the wonderful, wonderful luxury that is baking bacon in the oven. No grease splatter everywhere, no burns, practically no mess or fuss! You don't even have to pre-heat the oven! What could be more simple? Not much...not much. :)

What you'll need:

-jelly roll pan or baking sheet with sides
-aluminum foil
-1 lb of bacon
-paper towels

Cover pan or baking sheet with aluminum foil. Arrange bacon in a single layer on the sheet...try not to overlap too much or the bacon will all stick together (unless of course you would like an edible bacon "plate" to eat off of). :) Place pan in a cold oven (DON'T PRE-HEAT) and then set the temp to 425F. Cook bacon for 12-15 minutes (or longer if you like really crispy bacon). Remove pan from oven and immediately transfer bacon to a paper towel lined plate-otherwise the bacon will continue cooking in the grease on the pan.

THAT'S IT! :)

We had our baked bacon this morning with some pumpkin spice pancakes! Delicious fall breakfast!

So much quicker, so much cleaner, just as tasty!



Enjoy!
