Baking Bacon!

I am horrible at frying bacon. Everytime I try to fry bacon I burn it, but when I bake bacon it always turns out great. Here is the recipe below.

Oven Baked Bacon:

6 strips of thick sliced high quality bacon 
broiler pan or a cookie sheet with a wire baking wrack on top

preheat oven to 400 degrees 

place bacon on broiler pan make sure it is not over laping eachother they need to be evenly spaced.
Bake in oven for 20mins. Time may need to be adjusted if you are using a thinner sliced bacon.

This is a great fool proof method I hope you all enjoy!
