Preheat oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place bacon onto the foil and scrunch it with your fingers so it's shorter and they can all fit.
Keep bacon in a single layer. Pieces can touch but not overlap. Place on the middle rack. Bake for 17-20 minutes or until done to your liking.
I recommend checking at 15 minutes. Remove from oven and using tongs remove bacon from pan and on to paper towels to absorb some drippings, then serve.
** If you don't have a baking sheet use 2 pieces of thick foil on top of one another and fold up all 4 sides creating high sides to catch the grease. You need to be VERY careful this way when you take it out as the hot grease can seep out and burn you, I wouldn't recommend this unless placed on something hard and flat.
