Ugh...Bacon!

I eat a lot of bacon.  Generally speaking this is my breakfast.  I swap between microwave and stove top.  Here is the problem...the microwave makes it too crispy or not done enough and the stove top takes longer, needs constant supervision and makes a huge mess.  My dog actually prefers the stove top method because then he gets to lick the varnish off the floor trying to get to all the grease splatters.

Here is a different method of cooking it in the oven!   (I might add that my oven is self cleaning but I haven't noticed a large amount of grease in there.)

I line a cookie sheet with tin foil to make clean up a breeze!   (Y'all know I'm all about the easy)



Oven temps vary so this will be trial and error but start off with a cold oven, set to 400 degrees and try it for about 20 minutes.  Shorter if your bacon is thin.  



Now, blot on a paper towel and enjoy.  When breakfast is over, crumple up the tin foil and toss.  No more grease holding jars or spilling grease everywhere while you try to pour grease into said container.
