Roll each slice of bacon o be ⅓ longer than it starts out as. The reason you buy thick cut bacon is that you need to roll out your bacon to make sure it is long enough to make a complete cup.
Once the bacon is rolled out, cut each slice into 2 pieces. One piece that is 1/3 of the length, leaving a second piece that is 2/3 of the length.
Wrap the long piece in a circle around the inside of muffin pan well making a circle around the sides.
Place the smaller bacon piece in the bottom of the muffin well, pressing it down making a cup shape.
Bake for 20-30 minutes until bacon is crisp.
Remove the bacon cups from the muffin pan, and allow to cool on a paper towel or parchment paper to drain a little.

Assemble the BLT Bacon Cups
