OVEN FRIED BACON - NO MESS, NO CLEANUP!
This is my favorite way of making bacon, no mess, no cleanup! Comes out just like fried bacon crispy, fries in the oven in it's own bacon grease. The pepper is optional.

Steps:
- Use a 4 sided pan like a jelly roll pan.
- Line pan with tinfoil.
- Fold parchment paper to fit over tinfoil in pan. Must use parchment paper & line the pan for easy cleanup, important step!
- Set oven to 400*.
- After lining pan lay strips of bacon on parchment paper.
- Put in preheated 400* for 15 minutes, I turn bacon over after 10 minutes.
- Take out when crispy & lay on paper towels.
- When pan cools roll up tinfoil & parchment paper & throw away, no pan to wash!
BAKED BACON (OVEN FRIED BACON)
Serves 100; allow 3 slices per serving. Reduce bacon by 6 lbs. for 2 slices per person. I used bacon I got over the meat counter in the store, so it was thicker. There were 12 slices per pound, so ask your butcher to weigh a pound and then count the slices. That way you'll have the correct amount. The bread is only here because I need more then one ingredient to post this. I like to fix ours this way when we have BLT's. Then all the bacon is still warm when we sit down to eat.

Steps:
- Oil not needed, only for a second ingredient so it would post.
- Arrange slices in rows, across pans with fat edges slightly overlapping lean edges.
- Bake 375 degrees without turning 20-25 minutes (depending on thickness) until bacon is slightly crisp.
- 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.

Steps:
- 1. Lay bacon flat on a foil lined baking sheet. Make sure to use a baking sheet with sides so you don't drip bacon fat all over your oven! Place bacon into a cold oven and set to 375 degrees. Bake for about 20 to 30 minutes, checking periodically in the last 10 minutes. (I take mine out when the edges start to char a bit because I like super crispy bacon!) Remove bacon from oven and place on paper towels. Enjoy

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cover large sheet pan with heavy duty foil. If pan does not have edges, crimp the foil to create some. The edges of the pan are essential and will serve to contain the liquid grease as the bacon cooks. Lay bacon strips onto the sheet. The strips can be crowded together or slightly overlapping. Place bacon onto center rack. Check bacon after 15 min. for doneness. If more crispness is desired, bake for an additional 5 min, but check frequently at this point. Remove from oven and lay bacon onto paper towels to remove excess fat. Reuse these paper towels after the bacon is finished by placing them on top of the foil to help absorb the grease left on the sheet. Roll up foil and paper towels and toss.
Tips:
- Choose the right bacon: Opt for thick-cut bacon with a good amount of marbling for the best oven-fried bacon.
- Prepare your baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup and to prevent the bacon from sticking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Leave enough space between the bacon strips to ensure even cooking and crispy results.
- Cook the bacon at a high temperature: This will help to render the fat and create crispy bacon in less time.
- Flip the bacon halfway through cooking: This will ensure that both sides of the bacon are evenly cooked and crispy.
- Drain the bacon on paper towels: Once the bacon is cooked, transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess grease.
- Season the bacon: While the bacon is still hot, season it with your favorite seasonings, such as salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
- Store the bacon properly: Cooked bacon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Conclusion:
Oven-fried bacon is a delicious and easy way to cook bacon without all the mess and splatter of traditional frying. By following these tips, you can make perfect oven-fried bacon every time. Enjoy your crispy, flavorful bacon for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
