This is the best way to make bacon! Make perfect bacon every time by baking it in the oven. I also show you how to make flavored bacon with four delicious flavors for bacon!
Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup. Place a baking rack onto the baking sheet. Make sure the baking rack fits INTO the baking sheet. (THIS is the baking sheet I use, THIS is the baking rack I use)
Lay the slices of bacon on the rack, so that they are flat and not touching each other.
Place the baking sheet in a cold oven.
Set temperature to 350°F.
Bake for 20-30 minutes, until desired crispness is reached. Different brands and cuts of bacon will take different amounts of time.
