My husband and I always buy a locally produced bacon ( Kelly’s bacon from Elba,Alabama )…We get the thick-sliced kind…..I lightly dredge the slices in a mixture of cornstarch seasoned with black pepper,shaking off any excess…I put the slices on a broiler pan with a rack and bake in a pre-heated 400 degree oven , turning once , until the bacon is of the doneness that we prefer…Wonderful ,wonderful bacon !
