*Tips for cooking bacon
When cooking more than 4 strips of bacon do yourself this one gigantic favor… Preheat your oven to 400 dF. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Place strips of bacon next to each tight on the lined cookie sheet. Bake for approximately 15 – 18 minutes. Perfection and easy cleanup ensues.
