This is an older video but I like watching or rewatching them. I do my bacon the same way except I put a cookies sheet on top of the bacon as well. It keeps them flatter and even less splatter in my oven. I was so glad to learn this trick some years back as I was tired of getting popped by bacon grease and also all the splatter on my range top.
I know I’m watching this a long time after it was made, but my wife cooks our thick cut bacon on a George Foreman Grill, comes out perfect every time and the grease is easy to capture and it’s clear and clean.
Most restaurants and professional kitchens cook their bacon in the oven. We use parchment paper rather than foil. Also you don’t have to turn it. Just keep an eye on it. After cooking so much of it, I can tell by the smell when it’s ready.
@@ChefDuJour78 I have no doubt. Does not change the fact that in MY little residential kitchen I HAVE to turn the bacon. Even though I KNOW that it is unnecessary. And even delaying. I still turn it. Am working on it though.
I ran a B&B for awhile. My cousin told me about cooking it on a cookie tray (I used parchment paper). I cooked in on a lower temperature, so I wouldn't accidentally burn it while busy with other cooking tasks. If it wasn't quite ready when I needed it, I'd turn it up and watch carefully to finish it off. My guests loved it. Crispy, not too greasy, not burnt (the way I did it). I like bacon when you can hold the bottom in your fingers and the bacon stands up straight.
Another idea. I cook a whole batch and eat 1/2 (by myself if no one else is there!) and lay the other half flat (side by side) in a gallon freezer bag for future use. Take out of the oven and reheat as needed. Works great for added kick to sandwiches!
I love you people so much. You are the warmest, most real and God-loving people ever. Thank you so much for having this channel and giving the world so much! Blessing to you all.
I cook from scratch everyday but in watching several of your videos I want to get in the kitchen and bake bacon, make divinity, 2 ingredient fudge, crispy hash browns and truffles! You are inspiring!
I cook 3 lbs of this at a time. I put all the 3x trays in a cold oven, set the temp to 400 and the timer to 20-22 mins, depending on thickness. Take out, change the stacking order of the trays, flip (if desired) and finish it all off 2-3 more mins. This method has consistently given me good results. The whole house smells great too.
I discovered that bacon can be made in the microwave of all places! It came out nice and crispy too. It cooked in three minutes, on a paper plate with three napkins on top and another paper plate to keep the grease from splattering all over the microwave. love bacon sandwiches, just some Mayo and toast. Yummy. God bless you and your family.
I've been cooking bacon in the oven for many years. I always put it in a cold oven, set the temp for 400 and 20 minutes. Don't even need to turn them over. Comes out perfect every time.
I ran a B&B for several years, and that's how I did my bacon. So easy, no big mess, and perfectly crisp (and since it's a bit slower, less chance for burning).
Working in the restaurant as a cook its always cooked in the oven for just the reason she mentioned... it really does come out better then a pan unless you're doing just a few pieces. I let the pan cool a bit then strain the grease thru a filter before storing in the frig (good up to about 6mo. Or so..)
I've always cooked my bacon in the oven ever since I lived in a group home and saw how it's done when you're serving 30 people. It's the best way to make a lot of bacon with ZERO stove top mess to clean up !
Family Traditions, Christialn Values, Southern Hospitality, Ma'am it doe not any better than this, especially when there's good food to be had. I'm seventy-four and have been cooking (Southern Style) since I was six, but still enjoy your recipes and techniques, Thank you so much for sharing.
I always cook my bacon in the oven, are usually use a brightening rack so that the grease drips away from the bacon totally and I never have to turn it over even if it’s thick. As a blind Cook, I listen well and can tell when my bacon is done by the sound and the smell.
I loved your 100 yr. Old Peach Cobbler and Beliefs! I went and bought frozen peaches as I had none. I can't wait to make it! You have me sold on your recipes! My Granny made a cobbler like this and I was too young to get her recipe before she passed. She was born in the early 1890's. Thank you
Great video, I have done the oven bacon like this before. If you really want to impress your company even more, add brown sugar and pepper flakes over the top of the bacon while your cooking it. It's the wow factor. Great video thanks
I use a used toaster oven outside , also sprinkle a little raw sugar on the fat of your strips not brown sugar. This works well and keeps the kitchen oven cool and clean. Nice crispy edges , very delicious.
that's what I'm wondering about... nevermind the whole flat 🥓. The splattered inside of the oven. I can't get on my knees to clean that. bad knees. Frying pan with a splatter screen (from family tree $1) for me.
Thank you so much for showing this way to cook bacon. It was cooked just right and no mess. Plus I was able to use the bacon grease to cook up my eggs and pancakes that went with the bacon. Thank you again!
I once had deep fried bacon. they shriveled into meatball sized lumps and were wonderful. They smoked their own and gave you 6 slices in an order. Chiefland, Florida. Bob's BBQ. And they served ribs for breakfast too!
One thing I'd like to add. When flipping bacon or anything that's greasy that can burn you. Flip it away from you instead of toward you. You were flipping the bacon toward you all the time. I was taught that when I was young and I have always taught or showed new cooks always slip away from you. Thank you enjoy cooking. I enjoy your show
For baking the thin sliced bacon, take two (or three) slices off of the slab together. The double thickness cooks almost exactly like one slice of thick bacon. And no, the bottom slice does not cook less than the top slice.
When I lived in the mountains of Vermont, I would host a Hunters Breakfast for our family and friends that came to our woods to hunt. I would bake the bacon in the oven like that too. So much easier, especially when I had several other pans on the burners for eggs to order and home fries. I miss those days. ❤
I love your videos! I'm making your Christmas pot roast as I write this. When I was a young bride, I learned to cook bacon in the oven in a broiler pan. The pan is about 13 x 9 and it has another cookie-sheet type piece with drainage holes that goes on top. 400 degrees for 20 minutes, no turning necessary. Back then I used regular bacon; maybe thicker bacon like I use now would probably take longer. (I use a griddle nowadays when I cook bacon .) Merry Christmas to your family, Becky!
I've done this in the past but nowadays I make bacon in my Airfryer toaster oven. Bacon comes out perfectly browned on both sides and if you spread it on a wire rack above a cookie sheet, you can then use long tongs to take the bacon out without handling the hot grease, just let it cool and congeal and then pull the tray out. I'm shaky and clumsy so I don't handle hot grease. Thanks for the great tips, recipes and videos! ❤ I've used your recipes more than any other channel on TH-cam!
I bake my bacon all the time. I bake a whole pound at a time then (after it's cooled and drained) and put the slices in a gallon size freezer bag. That way, whenever you need bacon for a sandwich or breakfast just pop the individual slices covered with paper towels into the microwave and reheat them about 10 seconds per slice. What a time and mess saver!
Love this program. I am so very sorry to hear of Brets passing. Knowing their faith will absolutely make a difference in their grieving. God bless this family. 🙏 Thank you for bringing goodness into our lives. 💕 Lanae Phoenix Az
I like cooking bacon on a bed of paper towels, laid on a dinner plate in the microwave. I cover 4-5 pieces with a paper towel and cook on high for 4 minutes, then check it. Sometimes it needs rotating (center pieces moved to the outside), most times it doesn’t. Comes out perfectly every time. The only downside is sometimes I like to save the bacon grease for gravies or home made refried beans. I’m SO GLAD I found this channel. This is an answer to prayer for preparing breakfast when all the grandkids are here. Thank you and blessings to you.
Done that for years, @350° Convection oven 8 minutes every run. They'd be done but still soft. We'd finish up on the 48inch flattop per order. Each case is 15lbs we'd bake off 2 case's and use 30lbs Bacon everyday, we were serving breakfast all day at the time, 6 days a week. Baking it the oven was controlled and a better product zero waste. Glad to see other folks enjoying something so easy and tasty.
I have been cooking my bacon like this for over 15 years. i never turn it and it comes out just like yours. you are right, thicker bacon works best. we get Wright or Kroger brand thick Applewood bacon
I tried baking bacon tonight and it was awesome . So much easier than standing there frying and making a mess! It took just a little longer than I thought it would, but tasted great! I will probably do it this way from now on!
I fry my bacon in the oven for a few years, for 6 strips, It takes about 24 minutes to get it as crispy as I like it. And i like very crispy. you said it , cooking it in the oven you don't get burned .
I just tried this exact method with a slight twist. I covered the bacon with a sheet of foil and cooked them longer and I didn't turn them. No mess at all. EZ cleanup. Best bacon I've ever had. Thanks.
I have baked my bacon for years. I use a cookie sheet and parchment paper. I have never flipped the bacon and always get good results. Love my baked bacon.
My bride always "bakes" the bacon and it is nothing short of wonderful! Thank you for showing this seemingly secret method to so many folks, I'm sure they will love it!
It is wonderful :) I don't know why it took me so long to hear about it. When I think of all the burns it would have saved me if I had known about it when I was young...
I live alone and don't tend to cook much, but doing a whole pound of bacon at once and saving the grease I have a ready supply of bacon and the grease to fry in. I love your ideas,
Cooking bacon in the microwave, is also a great way to cook bacon & fat back too. And the microwave bacon cooker comes with a top so even your microwave stays clean & like Becky said, you don’t get popped with hot grease either. Your bacon looks delicious Miss Becky.
I do this all the time. Got a big family reunion every year. This works well for sausage Lso Also,. Get my daily Bible lesson on your site. Thanks for all you do.
I bake my bacon in the oven too, but I bake it on a cooling rack placed on top of the cookie sheet, that way the grease drips down below and I don't have to turn it!
Cook one flat on the sheet pan in its own grease and then cook another in a sheet pan with a rack. Then see which one tastes best and has the best mouth feel. Dont use a rack. Lol.
I saw a video recommend making bacon in the oven a few months ago, and I've been making it in the oven ever since. I do like my bacon chewy, so I do get the timing wrong depending on the thickness of the bacon, but the oven definitely cooks the bacon more uniformly than a frying pan.
Wade Atkinson Hey Wade I'm 75 enjoying life, I love my biscuits, gravy, bacon, eggs, pinto beans, fried taters and corn bread. I don't take meds, I would rather die from a massive heart attack than from lying on the floor for days crying I've fallen and can't get up,just keep moving 🏃🏻
I used parchment paper instead of foil, didn't soak through. the pan was completely free of grease and parchment paper does not tear as easily as tin foil.
I really enjoy your videos and have learned a lot by watching them. I also enjoy seeing little Charlotte rolling out dough in the opening. When she grins it just melts my heart.
I've been baking my bacon for years and use a roasting pan that has a rack, that way I don't have to flip the bacon over and it's not sitting in the fat (but I started out that way). I sometimes put a piece of parchment paper in the pan for easy cleanup. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes; that is for crispier bacon... we don't like it floppy. Great video Becky!
My Dear Momma taught me this trick years ago and this is the only way I do bacon! I went a little further with the idea, I'll sprinkle a little seasoning on my bacon (whatever kind you like) and that makes it even better :) Thumbs-up video ~John
If you put a rack on the sheet and do the bacon on that, I find it easier to turn. Plus it stays drier as the fat drips through to the foil and cooks faster as the heat reaches both sides. (I use an old baking cooling rack, grid style)
+Essem Sweeney Several people have said they use a rack. I tried it on a wire cooling and my husband claimed he didn't like it as good. I think it came out a little harder. You're right about it cooking faster. It cut the cooking time by about 1/3. I'm all about better and easier ways to do things and people should try the rack and see which way they prefer. Thanks for the suggestion and tips!
+The Hillbilly Kitchen - Down Home Country Cooking You're welcome, I think your husband's right, it may be to do with not sitting in the fat while it cooks, or just getting the timing right.
I've been doing my bacon that way for quite some time. Freeze me up cook other things on top of the stove. And sometimes I like to flavor the bacon with seasonings and garlic powder. The taste really comes through and is delicious
I really hate long intros, but this one was really nice to watch. What a great family! I use a disposable aluminum broiler pan to cook bacon in the oven. Never pan fry! Crispy and delicious! Thank you for your tip!
I cook my bacon the same way and have since I had kids cause of cooking for more. Hands down the best way to cook bacon. Nice presentation and beautiful family. Tfs
I'm from California and I just happened to see one of your videos, I'm not into country and don't like country accent, but listening to and watching you, I completely change mind and absolutely enjoy watching you and your recipes are so easy and such fun to watch being prepared, Happy Holidays to you and your and also to your utube watchers
I learned this method ( sheet pan / oven ) for bacon in the restaurant trade and have been doing it for years. I cook it at 350 as well, but for 30 minutes ( thick cut ) without flipping. Works fine. I drain the grease part way through. I like it on the crispy side ( not too crispy ).
When I bake bacon. I put aluminum foil on top of the bacon--touching the bacon. It gets crisp and doesn't splatter grease all over my oven. If the foil isn't touching the bacon, then it will just steam it and not crisp it. I also don't like the smell of hot meat cooking so the foil keeps the strong smell contained. When I was a kid, I ate my bacon boiled.
+janet lavergne Oh my goodness! Boiling bacon should be a crime :) Thanks for the tip. I have never had a problem with it splattering in my oven and I like the smell.
Ohh my goodness hun!! I've never heard of boiled bacon. Lol. You're the first one ever!! Now, when it comes to meat smells, I'm that way with ground beef, or ground meats cooking! Nothing as good as a homecooked hamburger but the smell of the grease makes me sick and another one is of course, liver!! Thats the nastiest smell ever! (Even with onions on it) Liver is nasty anyway! Lol. Everybodies taste n smells are different! God Bless you hun...🙏❤🙏😀
My wife does this method. Works good. Tip.... extra paper towels laid on top, before you remove for last time... to kind of soak the greese down some, so that part isn't so dangerous for injury. Good Video
Thank you for the video I have been using this method for a while now however there are a couple things I do different I started in a cold oven turn it to 375 when I put the pan of bacon in set my timer for 18 minutes I do not have to turn the bacon very rarely do I have to add a couple minutes extra and it comes out delicious ❤️
I'm going to try it on parchment paper and also paper on top of bacon and leaving foil spread out to catch splatter.. love bacon. Love your videos. God bless ya'll
@@luishernandez-vj8sk Most parchment paper is rated for use at temperatures no higher than 420 to 450 degrees. But it's true-we occasionally recommend using this liner for bread and pizza baked as high as 500 degrees. so 350 is safe
I am buying bacon by the case! I haven't made bacon in a very long time because the mess was not worth it! I tried this method and it was perfect! PERFECT! The trade off is the house doesn't smell like bacon.
I've been cooking bacon on sheet pans for 40 years. Learned working in a catering hall. No need to flip it. I smoke and slice pork bellies these days. Even thick slices. I do pour off the grease at half way mark. Lot less grease on home smoked bacon
I was a first cook in the Army, that’s the way I did bacon every morning. I didn’t turn it, just tipped the sheet pan a little and drained off some of the fat.
Baking bacon in the oven is the best. We have found we don’t need to turn it. We use two cookie sheets because I like limp bacon and my wife want hers crumbly crunchy. Win for both of is. Enjoyed your video.
Parchment paper, oven, no turning. Exceptional aroma and taste.
This is an older video but I like watching or rewatching them. I do my bacon the same way except I put a cookies sheet on top of the bacon as well. It keeps them flatter and even less splatter in my oven. I was so glad to learn this trick some years back as I was tired of getting popped by bacon grease and also all the splatter on my range top.

The skinnier the better when it comes to bacon with this gal..& i like it extra crispy

YOU may not have to turn it but I do. I cannot stop myself.
@@judsonkr - Well, in a kitchen, it’s way to busy to be trying to turn 1000 pieces of bacon.
Never turn mine always comes out the same. Great!
@@ChefDuJour78 I have no doubt.
Does not change the fact that in MY little residential kitchen I HAVE to turn the bacon. Even though I KNOW that it is unnecessary. And even delaying.

The biggest problem I have cooking bacon is that I eat most of it before it gets served in a recipe, or on a burger.!
LOL, I am guilty of that as well
But . . . that's not a "problem". That's a benefit.

I liked what she did, provide time and temperature. I am going to try this in my convection oven with the same time, temp and draining the grease.
I do this all the time. Got a big family reunion every year. This works well for sausage Lso
Also,. Get my daily Bible lesson on your site. Thanks for all you do.

My daughter Sal showed me how to cook bacon like this, about 5 yrs ago.
stays flat, and is baked in it's own grease. Delicious !!!
I bake my bacon in the oven too, but I bake it on a cooling rack placed on top of the cookie sheet, that way the grease drips down below and I don't have to turn it!
Exactly, me too! :)
Good ideal also
Cook one flat on the sheet pan in its own grease and then cook another in a sheet pan with a rack. Then see which one tastes best and has the best mouth feel. Dont use a rack. Lol.
@@timothyduzenski1386 what ? i'm confused
@@geraldbrienza4474 i like sam
Try fresh or dried rosemary....a tip from Sunset magazine early in the 70's....so tasty
I saw a video recommend making bacon in the oven a few months ago, and I've been making it in the oven ever since. I do like my bacon chewy, so I do get the timing wrong depending on the thickness of the bacon, but the oven definitely cooks the bacon more uniformly than a frying pan.
I love all of your cooking. Anything you cook looks so delicious.
So grateful to you for your easy to follow scrumptious recipes. God Bless you!
I fry my bacon in a cast iron skillet then I fry my eggs in the bacon grease dont get any better then that

Wade Atkinson Hey Wade I'm 75 enjoying life, I love my biscuits, gravy, bacon, eggs, pinto beans, fried taters and corn bread. I don't take meds, I would rather die from a massive heart attack than from lying on the floor for days crying I've fallen and can't get up,just keep moving 🏃🏻
I love it in my air fryer. I put down some parchment paper to capture grease and then cook bacon in air fryer. It is amazing!
I used parchment paper instead of foil, didn't soak through. the pan was completely free of grease and parchment paper does not tear as easily as tin foil.
eogg25 - you need to make a video 😊👋🏻✨👍🏻❣️
@@fludrbywest3886 I have a lot of videos on you tube but they are about Morse Code and Amateur radio operating and repair.
I put mine on the smoker. It’s comes out beyond delicious. It melts on your mouth.
I really enjoy your videos and have learned a lot by watching them. I also enjoy seeing little Charlotte rolling out dough in the opening. When she grins it just melts my heart.
I've been baking my bacon for years and use a roasting pan that has a rack, that way I don't have to flip the bacon over and it's not sitting in the fat (but I started out that way). I sometimes put a piece of parchment paper in the pan for easy cleanup. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes; that is for crispier bacon... we don't like it floppy. Great video Becky!
My Dear Momma taught me this trick years ago and this is the only way I do bacon! I went a little further with the idea, I'll sprinkle a little seasoning on my bacon (whatever kind you like) and that makes it even better :) Thumbs-up video ~John
Thanks for sharing your version/technique with us. God bless you!
Me2 … especially if you are serving a houseful… it frees up the burners for eggs or pancakes … maybe if you’re doing gravy
Mmm, mmm , love me a sprinkle of brown sugar....😋
I have been using this method for decades and works perfectly. I suggest using tongs so you do not pierce the foil.
If you put a rack on the sheet and do the bacon on that, I find it easier to turn. Plus it stays drier as the fat drips through to the foil and cooks faster as the heat reaches both sides. (I use an old baking cooling rack, grid style)
+Essem Sweeney Several people have said they use a rack. I tried it on a wire cooling and my husband claimed he didn't like it as good. I think it came out a little harder. You're right about it cooking faster. It cut the cooking time by about 1/3. I'm all about better and easier ways to do things and people should try the rack and see which way they prefer. Thanks for the suggestion and tips!
+The Hillbilly Kitchen - Down Home Country Cooking You're welcome, I think your husband's right, it may be to do with not sitting in the fat while it cooks, or just getting the timing right.
Essem Sweeney Sitting in the fat does change the taste. The foamy grease really makes bacon good. Not good for you, but gooood :)
I've been doing my bacon that way for quite some time. Freeze me up cook other things on top of the stove. And sometimes I like to flavor the bacon with seasonings and garlic powder. The taste really comes through and is delicious
get a cheap metal grate from the dollar store and put the bacon on top so that it is not in the grease.
works great .
We have been baking bacon with a rack for years. That is about the only way I can cook the ultra thin "classic cut" bacon without burning it.
The grease IS the best part…….
You get to save the grease for later.
I really hate long intros, but this one was really nice to watch. What a great family!
I use a disposable aluminum broiler pan to cook bacon in the oven. Never pan fry! Crispy and delicious!
Thank you for your tip!
Great tips! I can't wait to try this recipe.
Hope you like it!
We use our GEORGE FOREMAN grill and it does a great job. Cooks both sides at once and the drippings drain out and cool off quicker.
I cook in microwave, turns out good
I cook my bacon the same way and have since I had kids cause of cooking for more. Hands down the best way to cook bacon. Nice presentation and beautiful family. Tfs
I'm from California and I just happened to see one of your videos, I'm not into country and don't like country accent, but listening to and watching you, I completely change mind and absolutely enjoy watching you and your recipes are so easy and such fun to watch being prepared, Happy Holidays to you and your and also to your utube watchers
Don’t like country accent? Please California girl explain THAT one to us!!
I learned this method ( sheet pan / oven ) for bacon in the restaurant trade and have been doing it for years. I cook it at 350 as well, but for 30 minutes ( thick cut ) without flipping. Works fine. I drain the grease part way through. I like it on the crispy side ( not too crispy ).
Bacon aside, your composition, editing and overall presentation is terrific. Great work!
Agreed. They do a great job. 👍
Sir you do not put bacon aside. Have some decency.
Thanks for sharing Bacon is my favorite part of breakfast your method for bacon is right on the money and looks good! !!
Thank you very much, God bless you!
When I bake bacon. I put aluminum foil on top of the bacon--touching the bacon. It gets crisp and doesn't splatter grease all over my oven. If the foil isn't touching the bacon, then it will just steam it and not crisp it. I also don't like the smell of hot meat cooking so the foil keeps the strong smell contained. When I was a kid, I ate my bacon boiled.
+janet lavergne Oh my goodness! Boiling bacon should be a crime :) Thanks for the tip. I have never had a problem with it splattering in my oven and I like the smell.
Ohh my goodness hun!! I've never heard of boiled bacon. Lol. You're the first one ever!! Now, when it comes to meat smells, I'm that way with ground beef, or ground meats cooking! Nothing as good as a homecooked hamburger but the smell of the grease makes me sick and another one is of course, liver!! Thats the nastiest smell ever! (Even with onions on it) Liver is nasty anyway! Lol. Everybodies taste n smells are different! God Bless you hun...🙏❤🙏😀
Just tried it. THE BEST BACON EVER!! The only way I'm making it from now on. Thanks!
I sometimes do it in a cast iron skillet, or in the microwave. I like your way. Thanks................will give it a try.
My wife does this method. Works good. Tip.... extra paper towels laid on top, before you remove for last time... to kind of soak the greese down some, so that part isn't so dangerous for injury. Good Video
i was 25 when I found out bacon being cooked in the oven, I was working offshore then. Between the chef offshore and my wife, I learned how to cook.
Thank you for the video I have been using this method for a while now however there are a couple things I do different I started in a cold oven turn it to 375 when I put the pan of bacon in set my timer for 18 minutes I do not have to turn the bacon very rarely do I have to add a couple minutes extra and it comes out delicious ❤️
I do my bacon in the microwave. Always comes out perfect
yup, and perfect and really quick
been in food service almost 30 years , always did it in the oven and never had to turn it ..still turns out wonderful
I'm going to try it on parchment paper and also paper on top of bacon and leaving foil spread out to catch splatter.. love bacon. Love your videos. God bless ya'll
You will start fire dont throw no parchment paper in their
@@luishernandez-vj8sk Most parchment paper is rated for use at temperatures no higher than 420 to 450 degrees. But it's true-we occasionally recommend using this liner for bread and pizza baked as high as 500 degrees. so 350 is safe
I cook mine in the oven on a foil lined sheet slowly. When it's almost done I flip it and finish it up until brown. Soooo good
I do mine on a broiler pan so I can save my bacon grease for eggs. 😁 if you tip your pan the grease goes into the holes on the broiler pan.
I survived childhood on eggs fried in bacon grease and it is still one of my favorite foods 😋
I love making gravy with my bacon grease. This is making me very hungry. God bless.
I am buying bacon by the case! I haven't made bacon in a very long time because the mess was not worth it! I tried this method and it was perfect! PERFECT! The trade off is the house doesn't smell like bacon.
Sounds great! God Bless You!
I never turn my bacon over when cooking in the oven.
I cook at 400 degrees for 17 minutes with thick bacon.
I've been cooking bacon on sheet pans for 40 years. Learned working in a catering hall. No need to flip it. I smoke and slice pork bellies these days. Even thick slices. I do pour off the grease at half way mark. Lot less grease on home smoked bacon
I was a first cook in the Army, that’s the way I did bacon every morning. I didn’t turn it, just tipped the sheet pan a little and drained off some of the fat.
Me too.
Baking bacon in the oven is the best. We have found we don’t need to turn it. We use two cookie sheets because I like limp bacon and my wife want hers crumbly crunchy. Win for both of is. Enjoyed your video.
Thank you for sharing, may the LORD JESUS CHRIST bless you all.
I've used this method for years but have never turned the bacon, I'll have to give it a try.
