Oven-Cooked Bacon
(from 226-2tone’s recipe box)
Serves 4 to 6
The amount of bacon you can cook at one time will vary depending on the size of the bacon slices and the size of your baking sheet.
WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS:
No breakfast is complete without a side of crispy, salty bacon, but to easily cook a whole pound at once (and salvage our stovetop), we decided to make use of the oven. Low heat rendered the fat but didn’t crisp the bacon strips, and they burned before rendering if the oven was too hot. 400 degreed turned out to be the sweet spot. Lining the baking sheet with aluminum foil before cooking makes for easy cleanup.
