Time 35m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 2

9 slices bacon
Heavy duty aluminum foil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Cut a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil about twice as long as a rimmed baking sheet. Pinch and fold every inch or so of the foil to create ridges for the bacon to drain into while cooking.
  • Place bacon side by side on the ridged foil.
  • Bake in preheat oven to your desired level of doneness and a bit of foam forms on the surface, 25 to 30 minutes.
