- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 25 minutes
- Yield: 6 (2 pieces each)

- Method: Oven
- Cuisine: International
- Diet: Gluten Free
Ingredients
- one package bacon (12 slices)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Lay out bacon on an aluminum lined baking sheet. Try not to overcrowd but as you can see in the picture it can fit snug (this is a 1 ½ lb package of thick bacon but it would fit the same with a one pound package of thin bacon).
- Cook uncovered directly on the sheet and not on a rack – it stays moister, but still crisps up.
- Cook ~13 minutes for thin bacon and ~ 20-25 minutes for extra thick bacon (no need to flip it at any point).
- Cool slices on a baking rack over a lined baking sheet (makes it easier to clean the sheet) or skip cleaning all together and lay bacon on a paper towel lined plate. Happy Bacon Eating! Beckie
Notes
- Save your priceless bacon grease! I put it in a jar and keep it in the fridge for up to 6 months. I use it to fry eggs and pop popcorn. YUM!
