Bacon Without the Mess!
Who doesn’t love bacon! Â It’s the focus of any breakfast or brunch! Â But what I always hate about making bacon is the greasy mess it leaves behind. Â But here’s a way to make bacon without the mess and the best part is it tastes just as good.
You first need to start with really good bacon. Â Make sure it has more meat than fat (unless you like it a little bit fattier). Â I actually like the fat!
Then on your favorite cookie sheet, line the bacon up side by side on top of two layers of paper towels. Â The paper towels soak up the grease and make for an easy clean up. Â Bake the bacon in the oven at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes. Â The time will depend on your oven. Â Make sure you burp the oven (open it once to let out all the steam) early on in the cooking, this will make the bacon a little crispier. Â Â While the bacon is cooking, you can prepare the rest of your breakfast or dinner. Â Check out how we do Breakfast for Dinner!
In my experience, paper towels some times catch fire in the oven 😉 you didn’t have that problem?
No luckily I didnt:). You want to make sure you put it on the middle rack of the oven and never put it too close to the top.
