Not too bad for an upsidedown muffin tin.
Preheat oven to 375* Place a muffin tin upsidedown on a foil lined baking pan with a lip to catch the grease. Thin bacon works better for me because its playable and sticks in place better, but you may have to do a couple of layers to get complete coverage. Mine pictured could have used more layers. Also, make extra incase there are casualties when you remove them after they bake. Cut half of the bacon into 1/3's and the other half is used in whole slices. Drape 3 cut pieces over the flat part of the tin letting it hang down over the cup. Then, wrap the whole slices around the cup several times pulling tight at the end to make it stick. Bake for about 45 minutes until bacon appears to be thoroughly cooked. Remove them from the oven and let them sit for 5-10 minutes before removing them from the muffin tin. Don't wait too long before they start to dry out. Use a firm but gentle twisting motion to remove them.
They looked delightful but we weren't sure what to put in them. We tried twice baked potatoes that were pretty outstanding. I think quinoa with feta and cranberries or corn dip/salad would be nice in them also. Next time I think I'll try wrapping the bacon around a bigger dish and make it as a serving bowl for dip.
