Ingredients

  • 1 lb. bacon sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (i.e., the 'Broil' setting). Line an oven tray with aluminum foil.
  • Spread the bacon slices out in a single layer. Place the tray in the oven and cook the bacon for 10 minutes. Flip the strips and continue to cook for 2 minutes.
  • Remove the bacon strips from the tray.
  • Place them on a plate lined with paper towel to absorb the excess fat from the bacon.

Notes

  • Don't forget the aluminum lining; it protects your tray and cuts down on cleanup time.
  • Don't overcrowd the tray or your bacon may not cook evenly.
  • If your strips are on the thick side, consider cooking them for a few minutes more.
