Slowly baked bacon
Ok, I've discovered that I like my bacon oven cooked and I've been playing with different temperatures. Higher temperatures leads to a lot of grease splattering, which is never fun to clean up. So this last time I did it on 300 degrees. I didn't see any grease splatter at all, but it does take a long time to cook.
Method:
Take 2 pounds of bacon and separate it out as much as possible on a half-sized baking sheet. Cook at 300' until brown on one side (this took about 35-45 minutes). Use tongs and flip over to other side. Cook until brown (about another 35-45 minutes).
What I like in particular is that it comes out kind of caramelized. I usually stick it into a container and reheat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds. It is almost candy-like with the meat being rather caramelized.
