Oven Baked Bacon

Oven Baked Bacon

Once you try baking bacon, you will never ever go back to microwaving or pan frying!!!  The texture of the bacon is just so much better when it's baked and if you do it on foil, it makes clean-up a breeze!!!  Try it, you will be so glad you did!!!  I put a little fresh ground black pepper on the bacon because I was using it for a savory dish.  If I'm using it for breakfast, I sometimes like to brush a little pure maple syrup on the bacon before cooking... It will carmelize and makes the bacon taste soooo yummy!!




Directions

1.  Line a baking sheet with foil. This will make cleanup easier later.
2.  Arrange bacon slices on the foil and place the baking sheet on the center rack of a cold oven. Turn oven on to 400°F (No need to pre-heat)
3.  Cook for about 17 to 20 minutes. As soon as the bacon is golden brown, but not excessively crisp, it's done. The exact time will depend on the thickness of the bacon.

4.  Let the bacon grease cool and harden, then you can just fold it up and throw in the trash can!! No need for a can of grease to dispose of!!
