How to Cook Bacon in the Oven

3. You can make enough for a crowd

When cooking bacon in a pan or in the microwave, you're typically limited to maybe five or six slices due to size restrictions. This can be inconvenient if you're feeding a hungry group, or if you need a lot of bacon for a recipe. Cooking bacon in the oven solves that problem since you can easily fit up to twelve slices on your lined sheet pan. You can add even add a second sheet pan and double your slices without too much extra effort with this method.
