The “baco,” as it is aptly named, was first brought to my attention by SnarkyBytes. It is a deliciously simple process: form a four-by-four square weave of bacon and place it over a taco-shaped mold (they recommend shaped tin foil over small Pyrex bowls.) Place it in the oven heated to 400 degrees until browned and crispy. Enjoy
