Ingredients

  • 1 lb bacon

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Line a large bacon sheet with foil then place a cooking rack on top. Spray rack with cooking spray to prevent sticking then place bacon in a single layer on top of cooking rack. This will allow the grease to fall off the bacon and on to the pan while it bakes. 
  • Bake for 18-25 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness. I love my bacon crispy so I usually cook it on the longer side.
