Mmmm...Bacon

Sorry for the lack of posts recently!  We've been busy, but definitely have a few mountain adventures to post about soon!  For now, I can still smell the bacon from dinner and thought it was really important for me to share the really easy way I make bacon.  I read this method forever ago and I can't remember the source, but I do know that the bacon cooks evenly and with very little mess--no grease spattering everywhere while the bacon cooks and none of that curling problem where it's raw in some places and crispy in others.


The perfect way to cook bacon:

1.  Preheat oven to 425.
2.  Line a cookie sheet with foil and then put a cooling rack on top.
3.  Line up the bacon in a single layer on the cooling rack.
4. Throw it in the oven for 20-35 minutes (depending on how crispy you like it and the thickness of the bacon)

That's it!  All the grease will end up on the foil and the bacon is evenly cooked.  Enjoy!

    1. Well geez, I can't think of anything that says "I love you" more than perfectly cooked mess-free bacon, right?
