How to Bake Bacon – Oma's Gebackener Speck

Here's how to bake bacon, aka gebackener Speck,  - the easy way to make lots of bacon without the mess! It's the easiest way I know how to cook bacon, especially without the splatter.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound (454 g) bacon, preferably thick-sliced

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Using stoneware cookie sheet (or foil-lined metal sheet) with edges, lay bacon in non-overlapping rows.
3. Bake for about 20 minutes or until done. If using thin-sliced bacon, check around 15 minutes.
4. Remove bacon to paper-towel lined plate to drain fat.
5. ENJOY!

Notes/Hints:

• Pour the accumulated fat from the baking sheet into a container and keep in the fridge. Perfect for frying meat, eggs, or to add a bacon flavor to other dishes.
• Do not just use an unlined cookie sheet. The bacon will probably splatter a lot.
