Ingredients

1 pound thick sliced bacon

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Lay the bacon strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, allowing edges to touch slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven until the bacon reaches your desired crispiness, approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Use tongs or a fork to transfer the baked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
