Bacon:

This recipe calls for cooked and crumbled bacon. My favorite way to cook up bacon is to bake it. It’s super easy, and doesn’t require me to babysit it at all. Perfect bacon every time! Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Lay strips of bacon out in a single layer, placing them as close together as possible to fit an entire pound of bacon onto one baking sheet. Place the baking sheet into a cold oven and set the temperature to 400 degrees. Bake for 15 minutes. Check on your bacon to see if it is done. Continue baking until bacon has reached the desired level of crisp, for a total of 20-25 minutes, depending on how thick your bacon is cut. Use tongs to remove the bacon from the baking sheet and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate or tray to drain.
