• I have been draining the grease and flipping the bacon, then back in the oven for 5 minutes or so.
• Watch closely.
• DO NOT OVERCOOK.
• Drain or skim off excess fat at needed.
• Drain thoroughly on paper towels.
• For those with a convection oven use 325 degrees 20-25 minutes.
• The longer you bake after 20 minutes the greater the risk of producing a dry, burnt piece of bacon.

• In large bowl, stir Bisquick mix, milk, pepper and eggs until blended; pour into baking dish, and top with half of the bacon.
• Place frozen potato nuggets in single layer on ungreased large cookie sheet with sides. Place both the baking dish and cookie sheet in oven. Bake 20 minutes.

• Make-Ahead Directions: Make Bisquick bake as directed through step 2. Cover and refrigerate up to 12 hours. Uncover, and continue as directed in step 3.

CRISPY OVEN BACON AND EGGS

Steps:

• Take the eggs out of the refrigerator. Place a rack in the center of the oven, and heat the oven to 450 degrees.
• Arrange the bacon on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer, spacing evenly. Roast in the center of the oven until the fat renders and the bacon curls, about 8 minutes. Very thin slices will cook more quickly; thick-cut ones will take longer.
• Take the pan out of the oven and quickly flip the bacon and move to one side of the pan. Crack the eggs onto the other side, then immediately return the pan to the oven and roast until the whites are just set, the yolks are still runny and the bacon is brown and crisp, 2 to 5 minutes longer. If you prefer medium or hard egg yolks or extra-crisp bacon, cook a few minutes more, but take out the bacon before it burns.
• Using a spatula, cut the eggs apart. Slide them off the pan and onto plates right away to stop the yolks from solidifying. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drain the bacon on paper towels, then add to the plate along with toast. Serve immediately.

CRISPY OVEN-BAKED BACON

Steps:

• Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place bacon on sheet and place in a cold oven.

OVEN BACON

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Arrange the bacon in a single layer on 2 aluminum foil-lined rimmed baking sheets, or, for extracrispy bacon, arrange on 2 wire racks set over 2 foil-lined rimmed baking sheets.
• Bake until the bacon is browned and starts to ripple, or to desired doneness, 10 to 20 minutes. (Because the cook time depends on the thickness of the bacon and how you like it cooked, start checking doneness at the 10-minute mark.)
• Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

BACON AND HASH BROWN EGG BAKE

Steps:

• In 12-inch skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Using slotted spoon. Remove from pan to small bowl. Cover and refrigerate. Drain drippings, reserving 1 tablespoon in pan. Add onion, bell pepper and mushrooms; cook 4 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Stir in mustard, salt and pepper. In large bowl, beat milk and eggs with wire whisk.

• Heat oven to 325°F. Uncover; bake 50 to 60 minutes or until thermometer inserted in center reads 160°F. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheese and the bacon. Bake 3 to 5 minutes longer or until knife inserted in center comes out clean, top is puffed and cheese is melted. Let stand 5 minutes.
