I always bake bacon in the oven! You just need to plan a bit ahead as the bacon takes longer. With baking, the bacon grease stays nice and clean and you can reuse it to saute vegetables or eggs for extra flavor.

Corn and Bacon Salad

This is a great recipe that I've modified over the years. The flavors are terrific and the ingredients and ratios are very flexible. Adapt it to make it your own specialty. It is a go-to, clean-out-the-refrigerator kind of dish. It also stores well and actually tastes better the next day, making it perfect for picnics and potlucks. Serve warm or chilled.
