How to Bake Bacon PERFECTLY every time in the oven!

Ingredients

  • BACON - As much bacon as your baking sheet can fit comfortably.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F (325 on convection)
  • Line a baking pan with parchment paper
  • Lay out the bacon slices completely flat, next to each other.
  • Bake in the oven for 20 – 25 minutes until the bacon has reached the consistency you are looking for. Usually, 25 minutes is a nice combination of mostly crispy with some soft areas. If you prefer a softer bacon, cook for a few minutes less.
  • Remove to a plate or cutting board to drain extra fat.

COOKS NOTE:: If you do other baking such as pies and biscuits, using bacon fat is a nice alternative to other fats. If you reserve the bacon fat for this purpose, simply pour it into a jar, keep a tight lid on it, and put it in the fridge for your next use. While some people don’t mind and actually prefer little bits of bacon in the fat, you can sieve the fat as it goes into the jar to remove these bits.

  • Enjoy!
