Bacon in the Oven

📝 Ingredients

• Bacon
• Foil

👩‍🍳 Directions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F.

2. 2

   Line a large baking sheet with foil and lay the bacon in a single layer on top. It’s okay if the bacon is close together, but try not to overlap the slices.

3. 3

   Bake for 15 minutes, then carefully remove the baking sheet and flip the bacon.

4. 4

   If there is a lot of grease on the pan, carefully drain it into a coffee mug or heat-safe container for easy cleanup.

5. 5

   Return the bacon to the oven and continue cooking for about 5 minutes, or until it reaches your desired crispiness.

6. 6

   Remove the bacon from the oven and transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

💡 Tips for Success

• Keep an eye on it: Every oven cooks a little differently, so 20 minutes may be too long or not quite long enough. Start checking your bacon around 15 minutes and cook until it’s as crispy as you like.
• Perfect for a crowd: You can cook a whole baking sheet of bacon at once, making this an easy option for breakfast, brunch, holidays or whenever you need a lot of bacon.
• Easy cleanup: Line your baking sheet with foil and carefully drain the grease into a coffee mug or heat-safe container before finishing the bacon.
