I wanted to name this post “Baking Bacon” but, really, what’s better than BACON?\u00a0\u00a0It’s considered the gateway meat for vegetarians… I know!\u00a0 I was a vegetarian for 4 years… just not a very good one.\u00a0 On to the bacon ~ the mess!\u00a0 Oh my, any cook that also battles cleanup will a) use fewer dishes and b) find ways to splatter less.\u00a0\u00a0This process keeps your cooktop completely grease-free.<\/p>\n

Turn your oven to 400 degrees.\u00a0 Lay the bacon onto a large roasting pan in a single layer<\/p>\n

(I line mine with foil for easy cleanup).\u00a0 \"photo<\/a><\/p>\n

Place into oven and give it about 15 minutes.\u00a0 Some of the edge pieces will cook faster so be ready to pull individual slices.\u00a0 Tongs work perfectly for this.<\/p>\n

\"photo<\/a>\u00a0 Cook til done.\u00a0 It can go from not quite done to overdone in moments – so watch carefully the closer it gets to your liking.\u00a0 I tend to cook in batches.\u00a0 This allows me to cook an entire package of bacon and pull out a piece or two, as needed, during the week.\u00a0 \"photo<\/a>\u00a0 Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.\u00a0 This also freezes perfectly.<\/p>\n

My husband sent me a pic of how he and his hunting buddy cook bacon at deer camp.\u00a0 This is great for open fire cooking.<\/p>\n
