Makin' Bacon~

Okay,Okay, I know this post is a bit weird, but a friend asked me how I got our bacon so crisp and in straight strips.   I started to tell her & she stopped me  & said just put it on your blog so that everyone can see not just me.  I promised her so here I am~

I first must give credit where credit is due and this one goes to my husband!  We were making bacon up to twice a day as that was all one of my angels wanted to eat.  We started makin' it on a dinner plate but gosh the plates would get so hot and the drippings would no drain very well.  I went in search of something in which to use and came back with this, I found it at Bed bath & Beyond.  It is indeed a bacon maker, but I am sure they never thought it would be used like this.  Oh and yes that is clean, it is just a very well seasoned bacon maker~
 You will need about 4 sheets of parchment paper the approximate size of the bacon maker~
 Lay one sheet of parchment paper on the bacon maker~
 And start layering your bacon.  Each package of bacon comes with about 14-15 slices~ 
 Continue to layer until you have placed all the bacon in rows and layers~
 I have 3 rows of bacon here lined up nice & neat~ Excuse the counter tops I hate them,, they will not stay clean stupid grout lines who ever thought to lay tile in a kitchen should have their heads checked!  RIGHT?
 Sorry about that, I needed to get that off my chest!  Okay, now on to makin' bacon.  Cut the edges off to about the size of the maker allow for some shrinkage~
Place in microwave for approx. 11 minutes or until your bacon looks brown & crisp.  Remove from micro, but be careful it is hot  your will need some pot holders.  I wished I would have takin' a picture of the little rubber coasters I use because fabric pot holders get so greasy.  Drain the extra grease~
 Now you are left with the best, crispiest bacon you have ever made. YUM~
 Doesn't it make your mouth water?  It looks so good.  Okay, I need to close this post because I really do need to make bacon this morning~ 

Have a GREAT day~
