by 0 comments

Who doesn’t love bacon? The smell of it cooking, the crispy texture, the wonderful taste of it on a sandwich, or in a salad, or just on it’s own. Bacon, bacon, bacon. Let’s make some bacon in the oven.

Why in the oven? It doesn’t make a mess, you can make more at a time, and it always comes out perfect.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Sliced Bacon

  • Baking sheet

  • Aluminum Foil

Directions

  • Line your baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Lay your bacon in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Place it in a cold oven. This is very important. Do not preheat oven.
  • Once bacon is in the oven, turn the oven on to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Cook for 30-40 minutes.
  • Not all ovens are created equally, so start peeking after 25 minutes. Remove it from the oven when the bacon has reached your desired doneness.
  • Note - They say you don't need to flip bacon when you are cooking it in the oven, but I can't help myself. I usually flip it once, halfway through the cooking time.

Make bacon the star in your appetizer

I use bacon in a lot of my party food recipes.

I like to cook a batch of bacon ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator for later use. 

Cooked bacon is good in the fridge for 4 – 5 days.  To store it, let cooked bacon cool down completely and then put in an airtight bag in your refrigerator.

Low and Slow Bacon

There are many ways to cook bacon. Because we are in the dog days of summer right now, I don't want to turn on the oven. So we will be cooking it on the stovetop.

  • nonstick heavy duty frying pan or wok
  • 6 slices raw bacon
  • 1/8 cup water

  1. 1. Lay your bacon strips side by side in cold pan.

    2. Pour 1/8 cup of water on top of bacon.

    3. Turn the stove to med/high. Cook until all water has evaporated. Approximately 5 minutes. This helps to render down the fat.

    4. Once water has evaporated, turn heat down to med/low.

    5. Occasionally rearrange bacon, and flip it, to ensure even cooking.

    6. Once the bacon as reached your happy level of crispiness, approximately 10 – 15 minutes.

    7. Turn off the heat and let the bacon drain on a paper towel lined plate.

Once your pan has cooled down a little, pour excess bacon grease into a mason jar and store in fridge. We will be using this in other recipes. Bacon grease is full of flavor. Do not discard it.

I will be posting future recipes on how to cook bacon in the oven and in the air fryer.
