Oven Baked Bacon

If you have never made bacon this way, you will after reading this. Bacon made in the oven does not have to be watched during cooking process, does not make a mess out of your stove, does not
spatter all over you, is easy to clean up and allows you to make an entire pound or more at once. Interested?? Read on!

1 pound of bacon
1 rimmed cookie sheet
1 cookie rack
aluminum foil
cooking spray

Preheat oven to 400. Line a rimmed cookie sheet with foil. Spray the both sides of the cookie cooling rack with cooking spray and lay it on top of the cookie sheet. Lay the desired amount of bacon slices out in a single layer on top of the rack. Place in the oven and walk away for 17-20 minutes.

The bacon drippings will fall away from the bacon, keeping it out of the grease. Once the cookie tray has cooled and the bacon drippings have solidified, wrap the entire mess up inside the foil and toss. Your pan will only need a quick rinse in warm sudsy water.

I have done this at several different oven temps 350 and 375. I usually start the bacon first for at least 15 minutes than I add the other item to be baked. I will keep checking on the bacon until its done to my liking. This allows me to bake more than one thing at a time and both will be done within 5-10 minutes of each

other.
