Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. It helps with cleanup to overlap on all four sides.<\/li>\n<li>Arrange the bacon on the baking sheet in a single layer. The slices can be close together or touching, but don&#8217;t let them overlap or they&#8217;ll stick together during cooking.<\/li>\n<li>Bake the bacon until the bacon is deep golden brown and crispy, about 14 minutes for regular bacon and 18 minutes for thick-cut bacon. Exact baking time will depend on the thickness of the bacon and how crispy you like it. Begin checking the bacon after 12 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Use tongs to transfer the bacon to the paper towels.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you want to save the bacon grease, (How else do you make cottage fried potatoes??) let it cool slightly, then pour it\u00a0 into a heatproof container and refrigerate. If you don&#8217;t want to save the grease, let it solidify on the baking sheet, then crumple the foil or paper around it and discard.<\/p>\n<p>Storage: Refrigerate leftover bacon for 1 week or freeze it for up to 3 months.
