If you like it, put a pin on it. Thanks!
Ok, I’m going to give you a very simple recipe. If you read it and say “Gee thanks Captain Obvious,” well, ok I get it. I mean, I just learned how to do this last year. So I figure if I lived over 40 years not knowing how to properly cook bacon, maybe I can save some of you too.
My hubby and I used to fight all the time over bacon–I always wanted to pan fry it because let’s face it, microwaving bacon should be illegal. It’s criminal to do that to something so wonderful. But he always hated the way it stinks us the house. I was discussing this on hotcouponworld (our arguing about bacon) and one of the members said “Why don’t you just do it in the oven? That’s what we do.”
Well, I had no idea you could do this! But I am forever a changed woman. Here’s how I do it:
Put bacon strips on a baking sheet.
Put baking sheet in a COLD oven. Turn on to 400.
Watch it. Mine takes anywhere from 10-20 minutes, depending on how many slices and thickness.
Remove and put on paper to drain.
That’s it! And it’s so yummy and tasty, and my house doesn’t stink up nearly as much. It doesn’t make a mess all over my stove (or surprisingly, my oven) and, I can cook other things while the bacon is cooking.
So if you’ve been doing this forever, good for you, I’m jealous. I’ve been arguing with my hubby about it and scrubbing a greasy stove afterwards, lol.
