I have a GREAT tip for you today that will help you get a hot breakfast on the table in less time and it will create less mess than frying. Let me show you how easy it is to make bacon in your oven. You won’t have to stand at the frying pan for 20 minutes flipping and frying, you won’t have to wipe your stove top from all the grease, you won’t have to worry about kids getting burned from bacon platter and best of all this is a HUGE time saver!
Ok this is really easy and if you love bacon you won’t believe that you didn’t use this little trick years ago! This will make a morning breakfast much faster and less messy. You can place your bacon in the oven for 20 to 25 to 30 minutes and walk away or make something like school lunches in the morning with the extra time. This is a real time saver.
How to bake bacon in your oven recipe:
Line a pan with foil. If you’re only doing a small amount you can use a cookie sheet with a small lip around the edges (see image above) but if you’re making a pound of bacon or more then you’ll need a pan with a higher lip like a cake pan. Layer your bacon then cook on high heat at around 425° for 20 to 30 minutes depending on how much bacon you’ve placed in your pan. Remove & drain grease in a safe place to discard. Serve. Enjoy! ☺
I cooked about a pound of bacon in a cake pan, lined in foil, and the image above is how it turned out. I can be so much more efficient making a big breakfast with this method! (or making Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato sandwiches with fresh garden tomatoes!)
Check out my video on baking bacon! (don’t forget to subsribe with over 2,700 others)
My worry with trying this has always been the grease spitting all over the oven and such. Did you experience this at all? I hate frying bacon!!
I didn’t have problems with it at all but you could always put foil over the top of the pan if you’re worried about splatter when you try it. I love using this method Laura! In the summer when we grow tomatoes I’d make 2 lbs of bacon to have BLT sandwiches and it would take forever. Now I just “bake” the bacon and while its baking I’m setting the table and slicing the tomatoes etc. Its a real time saver! ☺
