OVEN-BAKED BACON

I always bake bacon in the oven! You just need to plan a bit ahead as the bacon takes longer. With baking, the bacon grease stays nice and clean and you can reuse it to saute vegetables or eggs for extra flavor.

SUPER EASY: BAKING BACON



Super Easy: Baking Bacon image

My daughter taught me to cook bacon with no splatter or mess on the stove top, by baking it instead. I use a 10"x15" jelly roll pan or the bottom of a broiling pan. I buy parchment paper for baking in rolls in bulk online, but you can get it at the supermarket or any cooking supply store. I bake 3 pounds of bacon at a time and freeze it in individual servings.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Line a 10"x15" jelly roll pan with parchment paper for cooking/baking.
  • Place 8 slices of bacon across the short side of the jelly roll pan flat on top of the parchment paper.
  • When the oven comes up to temperature, place the pan with the bacon on the middle shelf of the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
  • When the 15 minutes is up, check the bacon.
  • We like our bacon limp, but if you like it crispy, add more time, rechecking it every 1-2 minutes for desired doneness.
  • Remove finished bacon to paper towels or brown paper and blot excess grease off bacon with paper towels.
  • Drain bacon grease into a can.
  • Repeat process until entire 3-pounds of bacon is cooked.
  • Freeze in portion sized bags.

JOSEPH'S BEST EASY BACON RECIPE



Joseph's Best Easy Bacon Recipe image

Preparing this recipe is literally the first thing I do after I wake up on weekend mornings. I put the bacon in the oven (must be cold!), brush my teeth, start cooking other breakfast items, and then take the bacon out after 14 minutes - that's it! My bacon theory is that by placing the bacon in a cold oven to start, as the oven gradually heats to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C), the bacon undergoes a magical transformation from cold flabby piece of meat, to simmering deliciousness, to crispy bacon heaven as the oven hits the 425 degree mark. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use thick-cut bacon for the best results. Thicker bacon will hold up better in the oven and won't dry out as easily.
  • Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. This will help prevent the bacon from sticking to the pan.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Leave some space between each piece of bacon so that it can cook evenly.
  • Bake the bacon in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that it cooks evenly throughout.
  • Cook the bacon until it is crispy, but not burnt. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the bacon and your desired level of crispiness.
  • Let the bacon cool slightly before serving. This will help it to crisp up even more.

Conclusion:

Baking bacon is a quick, easy, and mess-free way to cook bacon. It's perfect for busy weeknights or for large gatherings. With just a few simple tips, you can cook bacon in the oven that is crispy, delicious, and perfect for your favorite recipes.
