Avoid bacon grease splatters with this Oven-Fried Bacon! Super simple! #baconmonth #putsomepiginit
The other day I announced that I was teaming up with some other great bloggers to bring you a month of bacon recipes! I hope you have stretchy pants for the duration of the month, judging by some of the recipes I’ve already seen, we’re going to be needing them! 🙂
Today, I have a simple and basic “recipe” …. A few years ago, I learned I could bake my bacon in the oven and I wouldn’t have to worry about the bacon grease burns! I love that my bacon cooks up nice and crisp – and mostly flat and straight! It’s the OCD in me.
For those who already know about Oven-Fried Bacon, this is elementary …. for those of you who have never tried it – be prepared to fall in love! It could not be simpler! I like mine a little more on the crisp side, so I bake mine for the longest time listed …. sometimes a bit longer if I buy the thick cut bacon!
Oven-Fried Bacon
Avoid bacon grease splatters with this Oven-Fried Bacon! Super simple!
Ingredients
- 8-12 slices of bacon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Place a cooking rack on a baking sheet.
- Lay the bacon out on the cooking rack so that the pieces are not touching each other.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until bacon reaches desired crispness.
- Remove the bacon from cooking rack to paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Notes
*Note: If you do not have a cooking rack, you can line your baking sheet with aluminum foil and place your bacon directly on the foil. Do not overlap the edges. Proceed as stated above.

I have never tried baking my bacon – I'm convinced! and I love it flat too!
This is my favorite way to cook bacon! I came over from Full Plate Thursday.
I can't believe how many years I cooked bacon other ways. I've been using the oven for about 2 years now and it's made life so much easier and more delicious. 🙂
Visiting from Full Plate Thursdays. Thanks!
