Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with a heavy-duty foil. (Note: You can crumble the foil, or leave it smooth. I tested both ways and there was no noticeable difference.)

Step 3

Arrange the bacon slices on the prepared baking sheet. (It’s ok to overlap a little to fit all the bacon.)

Step 4

Bake for about 20 minutes, or until desired crispiness is reached. Start checking after 10-minute mark. (No need to flip them half way.)

Step 5

Using a pair of kitchen tongs, transfer the cooked bacon onto a baking sheet lined with paper towel to absorb excess fat.

Step 6

Carefully, pour the hot bacon grease into a glass jar. You can use bacon grease for just about anywhere oil is called for.
