Perfect Bacon in an Oven

Lately, I have been using this recipe for preparing bacon.

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Line rimmed baking sheet with foil for easy clean up.
3. Spread slices of bacon on the baking sheet. It is okay to overlap them.
4. How long do you cook bacon in the oven? Bake for 20 minutes and check to see if it is done. I normally bake with a stone, and as we all know that increases cooking time. 20 minutes should about do it if you are not using a stone.
5. Remove from oven and place on paper towels to drain grease.

I love this easy way to prepare bacon! I have always loved bacon, but have to say it is one food that I absolutely hated to cook until I learned how to make Oven-Fried Bacon. I was always afraid I would either under cook it or burn it to a crisp. Or start a fire.
