  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil for easy clean up. Set a rack on top if using.
  2. Arrange the bacon in a single layer. Bake until bacon is cooked to your desired doneness (start checking at 10 minutes; I usually bake it for about 15 minutes). Remove from oven and drain on paper towels.

Notes

  • Bacon: These recipes work for all bacon: regular bacon, thick-cut bacon, turkey bacon, cured or uncured bacon. The cook time will very between regular and thick-cut bacon, though.
  • Yield: 1 pound of regular bacon usually has 16 slices, enough for 8 servings, 2 slices each. Thick-cut bacon will have 10-12 slices per pound.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
