Perfectly crisped bacon is a snap - just cook it in the oven!

Supplies:

1 large shallow pan or cookie sheet with sides
aluminum foil
wire rack (optional)

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 375°.
• Line pan or cookie sheet with aluminum foil then fit the wire rack inside pan and on top of foil. If you don’t have a wire rack to fit, you can omit.
• Lay bacon in individual strips across the rack, you can fit them tight against each other but try not to have them overlap too much.
• Place pan in oven and cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until bacon is crisp (about 35 minutes for thick slice).
• Remove from oven and lay bacon on paper towel lined platter to absorb more grease.

Easy Cleanup: Either pour off bacon grease in a container to use for later and toss aluminum foil or allow the bacon grease to get cold then remove solidified grease by lifting foil out of pan and throwing in the garbage.
