The Bacon Hack That Changes Everything

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven
    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the Pan
    • Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
    • Place a wire rack on top of the sheet (optional but recommended for extra crispiness).
  3. Lay Out the Bacon
    • Arrange bacon strips in a single layer on the rack or directly on the lined sheet.
    • Make sure strips don’t overlap.
  4. Bake
    • Bake for 15–20 minutes, depending on thickness and desired crispiness.
    • Keep an eye in the last few minutes — bacon can go from perfect to burnt quickly!
  5. Drain & Serve
    • Transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat.
    • Serve immediately, or crumble over salads, casseroles, or baked potatoes.

💡 Tips:

  • Foil + wire rack method = evenly crispy bacon with less grease.
  • For chewy bacon, bake slightly less time; for crispy, bake slightly longer.
  • Sprinkle a little brown sugar or black pepper on bacon before baking for a sweet or spicy twist.
  • Cook extra — bacon keeps well in the fridge for a week or freezes for easy use later.

I can also show a 5-minute microwave bacon trick that’s even faster and super crispy — do you want me to do that?
