Bacon Anyone?

I know your wondering what this post is going to be about with a title "Bacon Anyone"!  HA!  Well, let me explain, we love bacon in my house (about as much as we love pizza).  We love to eat BLT'S, breakfast (with BACON), and all sorts of things that contain BACON!!!  The problem you ask?  Well, I HATE COOKING BACON!  It makes a massive mess AND it absolutely makes your home STINK TO HIGH HEAVENS! 

So whats the answer?  Well, after some Google research, here is what I have come up with.  Line a shallow baking pan with tin foil (one that only has about 1/2 inch sides) place bacon on foil (your bacon can touch, just not overlap). 

I have to use 2 pans when cooking a whole package of Bacon (which is ALWAYS).  You simply "bake" the bacon on 350 for about 15 mins (this will depend on how done you like your bacon.).  We like our bacon "medium" so, I watch it very carefully.

Now, this was only my second time using this method for cooking my bacon.  Next time I believe I will place a few metal racks under the bacon and let the fat drip into the bottom of the pan in hopes that the bacon doesnt get quite as crispy (did I mention we DONT like crispy bacon)!!! 

However, I can tell you this method ROCKS.  Clean up is easy, simply throw the tin foil away with all the fat well contained (which makes washing the pan super easy).  It also insures that your house will NOT smell like bacon for days!

Try it, let me know your thoughts!!!

HAPPY 'MOMMYING' :)
