No-Mess-No-Fuss Bacon

By:  Maria


Bacon. Mmmm.  Love, love bacon!  I don't, however, like the splatter and mess when preparing bacon on the stove top.
What did you say?  Use the microwave?
Oh yes, I've also made bacon in the microwave; covered, to reduce the messiness factor, but it's not always perfect - sometimes it's slightly undercooked and sometimes it's overcooked (what a waste!).
Want perfectly crisp, perfectly cooked and perfectly non-splattered bacon each and every time??
This is the easiest method!

Arrange bacon slices on foil-covered cookie sheet (this will eliminate clean-up - just remove and toss  foil after bacon is cooked - easy!).  You can do just a few slices or the entire package (which is what I do).


Place cookie sheet in a cold oven (yes, that's right....don't turn on the oven yet!).
Close the oven door and turn on to 400 degrees.
Let bacon bake for 15-20 minutes (depends on thickness of bacon).


Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
Done!
Perfect. Delicious. Bacon.
