Notes
Storage
- Bacon is best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftover, let it cool then refrigerate it in an air-tight container for up to 3 days. In order to reheat, place on a baking sheet and warm in oven at 250°F for a few minutes.
- Figure out what you want to make with the bacon ahead of time. Then prepare the other dishes while the bacon bakes.
- Keep a close eye on the bacon to ensure it doesn't burn.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet or the bacon slices won't get crispy.
