Description

This is more of a method than a recipe, but yields nice, evenly-cooked bacon without having to hover over it. Perfect for Christmas morning or a Sunday brunch.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Thick Cut Bacon

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place slices of bacon in a single layer on the baking sheet with the edges just touching.

Bake in the oven until bacon achieves desired level of crispness, roughly 10-15 minutes. Carefully remove tray from oven and drain off excess grease. Remove bacon to paper towel-covered platter to finish draining.

Tips:
You can sprinkle some brown sugar on in the last 5 minutes of baking – yum!

For extra large batches, use 2 baking sheets and swap shelf location halfway through.

If you want to use thinner bacon, keep a close eye on it and shorten bake time if necessary.

If you have an ovenproof wire cooling rack, you can place it in your baking sheet, thereby letting the grease drain off of the bacon as it cooks.

Perfect! We do this when our whole extended family vacations together at the beach every summer!

You can also cook your bacon in the evening and refrigerate over night. The next morning, it only takes a couple of seconds in the microwave to warm up a few slices if everyone doesn’t wake up at the same time!
