Perfect Bacon Every Time
Author: Monica
Serves: 4-6 servings
- Bacon, as many strips as you need and will fit in your sheet pan
- Aluminum foil, enough to cover your sheet pan for easy clean up
- Tongs
- Paper towels
- Preheat oven to 400F. you will be using the center rack of your oven.
- Line your sheet pan with the aluminum foil, crimping it up and around the lip of the pan to keep from getting bacon grease underneath it.
- Arrange the bacon on the sheet, placing slices close but not touching each other.
- You will bake the bacon 15-20 minutes, until it reaches your desired crispiness.
- Eventually your bacon will look like it is swimming in foamy fat...it is OK. As soon as it is done cooking you will transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
- Once it is done, if you aren't quite ready for it, you can either return it to the "off" but still warm oven, or refrigerate it for later use.
- Let the pan cool, and once the bacon fat has solidified, remove foil, crumple into a ball and toss in the garbage...Clean up done!
- If you want EXTRA crispy bacon, you can always place a rack on your sheet pan and elevate the bacon strips so that they cook from both sides at the same time.
