Sometimes, you can't beat breakfast for dinner! My mother-in-law brought us a tub of eggs from her chickens and my kids couldn't wait to cook them so breakfast for dinner made it on the menu! I keep seeing people baking bacon so I thought I'd give that a shot.
I followed instructions from familyfreshcooking.com. Her instructions are to put the bacon on a foil lined baking sheet. I chose to put mine on a cooling rack to help with the grease. I was afraid that my baking sheet might not hold the grease because the sides are short so I used my broiler pan bottom. I baked my bacon 400 degress for about 15 minutes. Just look at all that bacony goodness!
Everything was going so well....until I failed bakin' bacon. I don't know if it's because I didn't exactly follow the instructions or if it's because I used cheap-ish bacon that I typically only buy when wrapping something in bacon or for making bacon bits but I think I need to try again.
It wasn't crispy unless you count the blackened ends. If you like burnt bacon (ewe.), my non-instruction-folliwing method is the way to go! A few more minutes and I'm sure it would have been nice and charred. No one was impressed with how quickly I finished cooking the bacon. My younger daughter even turned her nose up to the bacon! She did eventually eat it because she just couldn't resist but it was the last thing she ate.
So, follow the instruction and buy decent bacon and your bacon will probably turn out 8000 times better than mine did...or at least it might be met with cheers rather than "what did you do to it??"
Good Luck and happy bacon eating!
