I linw a jelly roll sheet with foil and bake the bacon on that. Sorry to those who do not like the aroma of bacon - I love it and love bacon - crisp! It really does not stink up the house all day like it does if I fry it in a skillet on the stove. DH loves the clean-up. I put the bacon on paper towels to absorb grease, just like you do when frying, and the foil just gets carefully rolled up and into the garbage. The pan itself has no muss, no fuss.
I have finally given in - I do serve bacon or sausage with the egg bake now. When doing the sausage links, I wrap them in the foil and bake for about 15 - 20 minutes, flip the package over and do that side the same amount of time. The mess is in the foil..
