We have a neat insert for the baking pan that keeps the bacon up so the grease drips off..but here is what we do:

Place bacon on the sheet
Set oven to 425
Put bacon in oven (don’t wait for temp to hit 425)
Bake for 25 min

Yum

A nice way to flavour up your carrots as a side dish..

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a pot
add about half an onion chopped
salt, pepper & nutmeg to taste
a pinch of cinnamon
3 or 4 large carrots, chopped
add about 1/4 inch of water, and a bay leaf.
once it’s boiling, about 15 minutes at medium until the carrots are preferred softness, and hopefully water is nearly gone.
Grandma added a bunch of sugar.. but I don’t bother..
