An, among th MANY benefits of doin oven bacon; ya jus drain off th grease into yer bacon grease can, (yall do have a bacon grease container, right? ), an throw th parchment paper in th trash.
Quick suds n rinse, an yer sheet pan, cookie sheet, etc., is good to go, fer next time... No scrubbin n scrapin...

I eat all of one black eyed pea a year. My wife considers it good luck to eat them on 1/1 so I eat my obligatory one pea per year and I have to tell you, I hate them.
However, looking at how Mr. Bones makes them I might have to try them with a more open mind.....if I can get my wife to prepare them the same way. Probably not going to happen, more than likely I'm destined to be a pea hater for life.

I let em go another ~45 minutes, to achieve my desired results.
Please note, ya always oughtta add a dab, or two of water, when ya reheat beans, chili, etc. A Dab, or two, mebbe a tablespoon, two, per bowl, then into th nukerator...use yer eyeballs, an try not to dilute it, accidentally
Done Test.
(Jus kiddin, but a good example of finished results:
Spoon stayed like that, several minutes, while I was takin pics...an til I removed it.
Woulda stayed there til I got home from work today, but beans needed to sit in Th Cooler, an think about things, overnight...
Btw, gotta mention, here, that I love Love LOVE my Tevolo spatulas!
Next, "Cooler" pics... (After Hogan's Heroes)

Now, I'm sure yall have heard me mention (curse) th tiny lil ~10-12 cf ), 30+ yr old icebox that my lil duplex has...
Well, this time of year, at least I have an alternative...
High yesterday was ~19°, an my motor garage was a cooly-breeze 34°, when th black eyed peas was done, around 0230, this mornin...
I rigged up a makeshift 'trivet', an set th DO fulla beans out there, to spend th night in solitary...
Nighty night, beans...

Looks great, Bones, but where's the cawnbred? I guess you're makin' it later, right?
BTW, what brand of bacon do you favor. My favorite is Wright's Hickory Smoked, but Hormel Black Label is good, too.

Yer right, cornbread came later on, Amigo! One o yer basic food groups!
Re: Bacon brands... Wright's is very good stuff, same same with th Black Label Hormel, an often found in my larder.!!!
I frequently buy HV or Sprouts thick sliced smoked bacon, from outta th butcher case, as well...really good stuff, usually ~$4.99 / lb, also can be had on sale, at times
