I found this method years ago somewhere on the internet and been using it ever since.
Your description is very good 🙂
I highly recommend this method.

I usually do not use foil and collect the grease after baking – for the next refried beans, for example 😉 😀
It’s a bit tricky, getting the grease from the hot rimmed sheet into a glass container, but it’s worth the effort – no need to buy extra bacon grease 😉 😀

Another trick to fit more slices in your pan is to “inchworm” the slices- pinching your slices so they take up less room means you can fit a pound per large sheet pan. Baking your bacon is hands down the best method!.

I love this recipe! The bacon doesn’t contort into weird shapes. It remains flat, which I prefer. I do use thick-cut bacon. Yes, it takes longer, so i had to get used to that. Yes, it can burn quickly once it gets to golden brown. It’s all about practice.

As for the bacon fat, I love to have it at the bottom of the cookie sheet. I mix in oatmeal and feed it to my chickens. They love it!

May I suggest a tried and true favorite ‘twist’. Use thick cut bacon and instead of laying flat, do a half twist to elevate the middle portion and have two halves facing up. Comes out perfect every time and no need to turn thick cut during cooking.

I use thick cut Hickory or Applewood smoked. 18-20 minutes @400 depending on crispness desired. Bacon perfection IMHO.

I dust the bacon with a little flour before I bake it. I have never looked back from making bacon in the oven. I love being able to throw the foil away for a super easy clean up.

I just love how you have everything that I am looking for in my kitchen. This recipe led to that one and then that one. I am inspired about how you have blogged about this process it makes it that much more on a personal level for me. I feel like as I read I knew you more and more and trusted your decisions on why you chose that route.
