Bacon

Hopefully you all agree with me when I say that bacon is awesome! It is good on so many things as well as delicious when eaten alone.  However, what I dislike most about cooking bacon is that it stinks up your whole house when you cook it and also that you have to baby it on the stove top. But my whole life changed one day while watching Racheal Ray and she mentioned cooking bacon in the oven. Brilliant!


Use a rimmed cookie sheet. Layer the pan with parchment paper or a cooling rack. Layer bacon slices in a single layer. The strips will shrink while they cook so you can place them close together.  Do not preheat oven.  Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.  Be careful to not overcook it.

Allow to cool slightly on a paper towel. Your bacon will be crispy and flat! Enjoy!
