Welcome to The Idiot's Guide to Brunch: Chapter 1 - The Perfect Bacon

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Don't get lazy and put your bacon in early.

Step 2: Put the bacon on a baking sheet. Make sure to leave room between the pieces so they can get cooked and delicious. Some people use foil to cover the baking sheet! I like to set my timer for around 15 minutes please note that every oven cooks differently and all bacon is a little different.

For my oven I have to rotate halfway through because it doesn't always cook evenly. Make sure to CHECK ON YOUR BACON around the 10 minute mark.

Step 3: Once your bacon is done pull it out of the oven. Please start watching your bacon around the 14 minute mark. Today I had mine in the oven for about 18 minutes. There are many variables involved in perfect bacon!

Step 4(Optional): Strain and collect your bacon grease for future use. You can add this to almost anything and it's delicious!

Step 5: Enjoy your friggin bacon!!
