If you've found stove-top bacon to be a messy event, switch to the oven-cooked method and you'll NEVER look back!
Not only will you keep all the mess in the oven, following these steps below will ensure that your bacon comes out in nice, crispy strips, instead of that "curled and shriveled" experience.
Here's you go:
1. Cover a large baking sheet (with sides) with bacon strips placed side-by-side, as closely as possible.
2. Place bacon into a COLD oven.
3. Turn oven to 400 degrees F. Cook bacon for 15 minutes. Fip bacon and continue to cook an additional 5-10 minutes until it's browned and crisped to the degree you like it; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool for a few minutes.
Now You're Cookin',
