OVEN FRIED BACON - NO MESS, NO CLEANUP!
This is my favorite way of making bacon, no mess, no cleanup! Comes out just like fried bacon crispy, fries in the oven in it's own bacon grease. The pepper is optional.

Steps:
- Use a 4 sided pan like a jelly roll pan.
- Line pan with tinfoil.
- Fold parchment paper to fit over tinfoil in pan. Must use parchment paper & line the pan for easy cleanup, important step!
- Set oven to 400*.
- After lining pan lay strips of bacon on parchment paper.
- Put in preheated 400* for 15 minutes, I turn bacon over after 10 minutes.
- Take out when crispy & lay on paper towels.
- When pan cools roll up tinfoil & parchment paper & throw away, no pan to wash!
BAKED BACON (OVEN FRIED BACON)
Serves 100; allow 3 slices per serving. Reduce bacon by 6 lbs. for 2 slices per person. I used bacon I got over the meat counter in the store, so it was thicker. There were 12 slices per pound, so ask your butcher to weigh a pound and then count the slices. That way you'll have the correct amount. The bread is only here because I need more then one ingredient to post this. I like to fix ours this way when we have BLT's. Then all the bacon is still warm when we sit down to eat.

Steps:
- Oil not needed, only for a second ingredient so it would post.
- Arrange slices in rows, across pans with fat edges slightly overlapping lean edges.
- Bake 375 degrees without turning 20-25 minutes (depending on thickness) until bacon is slightly crisp.
- I have been draining the grease and flipping the bacon, then back in the oven for 5 minutes or so.
- Watch closely.
- DO NOT OVERCOOK.
- Drain or skim off excess fat at needed.
- Drain thoroughly on paper towels.
- For those with a convection oven use 325 degrees 20-25 minutes.
- The longer you bake after 20 minutes the greater the risk of producing a dry, burnt piece of bacon.

Steps:
- 1. Lay bacon flat on a foil lined baking sheet. Make sure to use a baking sheet with sides so you don't drip bacon fat all over your oven! Place bacon into a cold oven and set to 375 degrees. Bake for about 20 to 30 minutes, checking periodically in the last 10 minutes. (I take mine out when the edges start to char a bit because I like super crispy bacon!) Remove bacon from oven and place on paper towels. Enjoy

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cover large sheet pan with heavy duty foil. If pan does not have edges, crimp the foil to create some. The edges of the pan are essential and will serve to contain the liquid grease as the bacon cooks. Lay bacon strips onto the sheet. The strips can be crowded together or slightly overlapping. Place bacon onto center rack. Check bacon after 15 min. for doneness. If more crispness is desired, bake for an additional 5 min, but check frequently at this point. Remove from oven and lay bacon onto paper towels to remove excess fat. Reuse these paper towels after the bacon is finished by placing them on top of the foil to help absorb the grease left on the sheet. Roll up foil and paper towels and toss.
Tips:
- Choose a thick-cut bacon for the best results. Thicker bacon will crisp up better in the oven.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. This will prevent the bacon from sticking to the pan.
- Space the bacon strips out on the baking sheet so that they are not touching. This will help them cook evenly.
- Bake the bacon at a high temperature (400°F) for a short amount of time (15-20 minutes). This will help to crisp up the bacon without overcooking it.
- Flip the bacon halfway through the cooking time to ensure that it cooks evenly on both sides.
- Remove the bacon from the oven when it is crispy and browned to your liking.
- Drain the bacon on paper towels to remove any excess grease.
- Enjoy the bacon immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for later use.
Conclusion:
Oven-fried bacon is a delicious and easy way to cook bacon. It is a healthier alternative to pan-fried bacon, as it uses less oil. Oven-fried bacon is also a great option for large batches of bacon, as it can be cooked all at once. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy breakfast or a crispy topping for your salad, oven-fried bacon is a great option.
