Ingredients

  • 16 oz bacon (original or thick cut)

Instructions

  • Line up the bacon slices on a foil covered, rimmed baking sheet. Bacon can be touching since it will shrink but not overlapping.
  • Bake at 425˚F for 15-35 minutes depending on the thickness of the bacon and how crispy you want it. Check the bacon after 15 minutes and then continue checking every 5-10 minutes until fully cooked. For best results, flip the bacon slices over halfway through cooking to get it evenly crispy on both sides.
  • Remove the bacon from the oven and transfer the slices to a paper towel covered plate to drain.
  • Allow the bacon grease to cool and solidify in the pan. Then, fold up the grease covered foil and throw it away.
  • Serve immediately or store in the fridge or freezer in an airtight container.
  • Leftover bacon can be reheated in the microwave or in a frying pan on the stovetop.
