Oven Cooked Bacon

I don’t know about you, but I hate cooking bacon! I hate having grease splatter all over everything including myself. After you try this Bacon Oven Method, you will never go back to cooking bacon on the stovetop! Here is a simple tutorial on How to Cook Bacon in the Oven!

This is so simple!

Preheat oven to 400°

Line pan or sheet with aluminum foil then fit a wire rack inside pan and on top of foil. If you don’t have a wire rack to fit, you can omit.

Oven Bacon Method

Lay the meat in individual strips across the rack, you can fit them tight against each other but try not to have them overlap too much.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until they’re just as crispy as you like it (about 35 minutes for thick slices).

Remove from heat and lay strips on paper towel lined platter to absorb more grease.

Now for the Easy Cleanup: Either pour off grease in a container to use for later and toss aluminum foil or allow the grease to get cold then remove solidified fat by lifting foil out of pan and throwing in the garbage. Easy right??!!
