Bacon in the Oven
This less-mess, no-fail way to cook bacon in the oven will become the only way you'll ever prepare it. It's just so smart to fix bake it!
Ingredients
- 1 pound bacon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil for easy clean up. Place a metal rack on top of the baking sheet. Line the bacon up side by side, making sure the pieces do not overlap.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes for thin-cut bacon or 25-30 minutes for thick-cut bacon, depending on your desired doneness. That's it!
Freezer Instructions
How to freeze uncooked bacon: Just store the package in the freezer. Assuming the package is still airtight, it should be good up to 6 months. Just let it safely thaw before cooking it.
How to freeze cooked bacon: Let the bacon fully cool and drain off grease. Place bacon in an airtight container, reducing air exposure as much as possible.
How to reheat cooked, frozen bacon: Let frozen bacon come to room temperature (this should only take 5-10 minutes). Either microwave for 15-20 seconds or reheat in a toaster oven for a few minutes.
