How to cook killer bacon

Use the oven. I know she didn't invent the idea, but I always thank Martha Stewart, God love her, for that tip. In her great cookbook, the The Martha Stewart Living Cookbook, she has a recipe for brown sugar bacon. I usually leave off the brown sugar, and just cook the bacon in the oven at 425 for about twenty minutes. You might need to drain the bacon fat off partway through, depending on how lean the bacon is. Save it! It's great for seasoning roasts, or sauting onions/garlic for soups.

Put a sheet of parchment paper down before putting down the bacon, it'll make clean-up a snap.
