Why did my bacon not get crispy?

If your bacon is not crispy, it might be due to the thickness of the bacon slices or overcrowding on the baking sheet. Ensure the bacon slices are thin and that there is space between each sausage on the baking sheet. You can also broil them for the last 2-3 minutes of baking to crisp up the bacon.

Can I cook these on the stovetop?

While baking is the preferred method for even cooking, you can also cook these on the stovetop. Use a skillet over medium heat, turning the sausages frequently to ensure the bacon is cooked and crispy on all sides. This method might require more attention to prevent burning.
