Big Batch O’ Bacon

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. 2
   Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place slices of bacon in a single layer on the baking sheet with the edges just touching.
3. 3
   Bake in the oven until bacon achieves desired level of crispness, roughly 10-15 minutes. Carefully remove tray from oven and drain off excess grease. Remove bacon to paper towel-covered platter to finish draining.

   Tips:
5. 5
   You can sprinkle some brown sugar on in the last 5 minutes of baking - yum!
6. 6
   For extra large batches, use 2 baking sheets and swap shelf location halfway through.
7. 7
   If you want to use thinner bacon, keep a close eye on it and shorten bake time if necessary.
8. 8
   If you have an ovenproof wire cooling rack, you can place it in your baking sheet, thereby letting the grease drain off of the bacon as it cooks.
