Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan
  • 1 cooling rack to fit the above sheet pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Bacon Thick Cut, Good Stuff

Instructions
 

  • Insert the cooling rack into the sheet pan
  • Lay bacon onto the cooling rack, not overlapping
  • Insert pan, rack, bacon into the oven, set the temp to 400
  • Set your timer to 15 minutes
  • Check the bacon for desired crispness, cook additional time for additional crispness. (DO NOT OVERCOOK / BURN, that is a crime)
  • Remove from oven and move bacon onto a plate with paper towels to finish draining.

Notes

This is a basic technique, not a recipe.  I like this whence I can get a side portion of bacon and cut my slices to my thickness (ala Steakhouse Bacon)
One can kick things up a notch and season the bacon:
Dark Brown sugar for a sweeter bacon
Chili flake for a spicy kick
Black Pepper for that unique pepper taste
Liquid Smoke for EXTRA SMOKEY flavor.
