Have you ever cooked bacon in the oven? We’ve done it for years now. It’s a total time saver. And hello, who doesn’t love the smell of bacon?!
Baking bacon is just fun to say, but it also creates delicious, crispy goodness. Here’s how to get perfect bacon everytime:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with foil {if you want really crispy bacon, use your broiling pan, and only line the drip pan with foil for easier clean-up}.
- Arrange bacon on the baking sheet. It can be super close together, just make sure it’s not overlapping, or it won’t cook evenly.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes. {I recommend checking it after 10 minutes, though, because pretty much every package of bacon I’ve ever bought is cut differently, i.e. thicker or thinner, which will effect overall cooking time.}
- When desired level of crispiness is achieved, pull it out of the oven and place the the bacon on a plate lined with paper towels. Resist the urge to pop it all into your mouth and then cool it simultaneously by gulping ice water.
Easy, delicious bacon.
