If you’ve ever made bacon in the microwave or a frying pan, you’ll have experienced the messy and greasy outcome. Not only that, your bacon likely isn’t flat by the time you’re done, right?

Well, if so, start using your oven to bake your bacon! 16-18 minutes @ 400 F (depending on desired crispy-ness), a cooking sheet and some aluminum foil (for easy cleanup) and you’re in business! I’ve never had bacon come out so evenly cooked, crispy and flat! Try it out!

If you’re in a pinch for time, like say on a hectic Monday evening, these chicken breasts are perfect to satisfy the family!

That’s right, sour cream, it keeps the meat very tender!
