Joseph's Best Easy Bacon Recipe

Joseph's Best Easy Bacon Recipe

Preparing this bacon is literally the first thing I do after I wake up on weekend mornings. I put the bacon in the cold oven, set it to 425 F, brush my teeth, start cooking other breakfast items, and then take the bacon out after 14 minutes — that’s it! My theory is that by placing the bacon in a cold oven to start, as the oven gradually heats, the bacon undergoes a magical transformation from a cold, flabby piece of meat to crispy bacon heaven as the oven hits the 425-degree mark.
