Perfect bacon

I hate frying bacon. It's messy and sometimes it hurts when it pops. So we cook our bacon one way, in the oven. It's easy to do, easy to clean up, and it tastes so very good.

Line a baking sheet with foil. I use the extra wide foil so that the grease doesn't seep under to the baking sheet, remember easy clean-up right?

Bake for 12-15 minutes at 400 degrees. If your oven doesn't cook evenly, you may want to turn the pan 180 degrees half way through cooking, but be careful not to spill the grease in the oven. Depending on the thickness of the bacon you may want to cook longer. We usually set the timer for 12 minutes and check it every couple minutes after that until it looks done.

 Place bacon on a paper towel to dry.

Let the cookie sheet sit until grease solidifies. It usually takes a few hours depending on the temperature in your house. The cooler it is, the faster it will solidify. Then toss the foil. No grease splatters all over your stove and very yummy bacon. It's perfect for BLTs because it doesn't curl in the oven.
