My children love it when I cook bacon for them. I have always hated the smelly, greasy mess it makes frying it on a pan. Then I went to the microwave, and it just made them all shrivel up. We are HUGE fans of Barefoot Contessa. If you have never watched her on the food network, or you don't own one of her cookbooks I suggest you get one. We're talking high quality! So, I was watching her show the other day and saw this great new way to cook your bacon. This morning I tried it, and it was amazing! Not only did it taste delicious,it didn't make a big, smelly mess. I don't think I'll ever be able to cook bacon the old way again--I'm converted!
Barefoot Contessa's Maple- Roasted Bacon recipe
Ingredients
3/4 lb thick-cut smoked bacon (16 slices) .(I used store brand and it was still good.)
1-2 tbsp good maple syrup (i used store brand, and it was still good.)
Directions
Step #1 Preheat the oven to 400F degrees F.
Step #2 Place a baking rack on a sheet pan lined with foil & arrange the bacon in 1 layer on the baking rack.
Step #3 Bake for 15 to 20 mins, until the bacon begins to brown.
Step #4 Remove the pan carefully from the oven; there will be hot grease in the pan! Brush the bacon slices with maple syrup & bake for another 3 to 5 mins, until the bacon is a warm golden brown.
Step #5 Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels & serve warm.
