2Line deep-dish pie crust with a double layer of aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven on a baking sheet for 8 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until crust is lightly golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
3Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels, crumble, and set aside. Reserve 2 tablespoons bacon grease in the skillet.
