Oven Baked Bacon!

Oven Baked Bacon

I have a strong love/hate relationship with bacon. LOVE crispy bacon, despise soggy bacon, love the flavor and texture but hate the guilt. Oven Baked Bacon is by no means healthier for you than any other bacon but is a good "sometimes food" on a lazy weekend morning.

Using the wire racks helps with heat distribution as well as allows some of the excess fat to drip off of the bacon.

Ingredients:
  • Thick Sliced Bacon (as much as you want - 3 pieces per person is plenty!)
  • White Sugar (small spoonful)
Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 400
  • Line baking sheet with foil - really helps with clean up
  • Place wire racks on baking sheet
  • Lay out back on wire racks
  • Bake for 20 minutes
  • Flip bacon
  • Bake for a bit longer to desired doneness (usually about 10 minutes for me)
  • Remove bacon from oven
  • Dab extra fat off with a paper towel if desired
  • Sprinkle a LIGHT amount of sugar on the bacon
  • ENJOY
