How to Bake Bacon

By srumbel

Baked bacon is less messy than pan fried bacon, it crisps up wonderfully, and clean-up is a breeze! You can even add flavors to the bacon. Sometimes I sprinkle a little brown sugar over the bacon before it bakes. Other times I drizzle the raw bacon with a little maple syrup. Both options are yum and no matter what, if you bake bacon, you’ll have perfect bacon every single time!

Ingredients

• Sliced Bacon

Preparation

Step 1

1.Line a rimmed baking sheet (jelly roll pan) with foil.
2.Arrange the bacon in a single layer.
3.Place the tray of bacon in a cold oven. Turn on the oven to 400 degrees.
4.Bake for anywhere from 17-25 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked to your preference.
5.Baking time will vary depending on how fast your oven gets up to temp, and how thick your bacon is. Thinner bacon will cook faster than thicker bacon.
6.When the bacon is crispy, carefully remove the pan from the oven making sure not to spill the bacon grease.
7.Transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Then enjoy!
8.If you want to save the bacon grease, pour it into a heat-safe container.
