Bakin' Bacon

I was chatting with a friend recently about a hot topic.  Bacon.  I love it, eat it and make it almost every day for breakfast or some other recipe that I search out requiring bacon.  What I don't like about it, is frying it.  Sorta messes up my kitchen with all that splattering.


















My friend, Leah bakes hers.  MUCH easier.  Just line a baking sheet with foil, place a wire rack on top of that and lay out the slices of bacon.  Bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes or to desired crispness.


















I like mine crispy, Bryce likes his tender.




How do you like yours?

    I LOVE baking bacon!! I did learn a valuable lesson though this year. Do not use a cookie sheet, use a 9x13 pan. At Easter I pulled the pan out of the oven and it "popped" and the grease landed on my foot....worse pain than childbirth. Ended up with a huge blister on the top of my foot. Could only wear single strap sandals for over 2 months. Just a little FYI, would hate to have someone else go through that :)

    I tried the 10 min @ 400 and found it not at all done! How long did you leave it in for 'crispy'?
    Much easier than frying for sure!!

    For crispy bacon, it's at least 15 minutes or even a little longer...I just keep checking after 15 :)

    I started doing this a couple months ago and it's such a great idea!

    We bake our bacon, too! I line a 13" x 9" glass casserole dish with foil and bake the bacon strips on it. The only problem is I have to drain the fat off the bacon on paper towels before we eat it. I love the easy cleanup though. And I love the bacon!

    I love this way of cooking bacon, as I too dislike the mess it leaves on top of a stove. I do flip mine half way through to make it bake more evenly, and only use this method in a self cleaning oven!!!
