Baked Bacon (Oven Fried Bacon)

Recipe #187790 | 30 min | 10 min prep | add private note

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.

SERVES 100 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 18 lbs thick sliced bacon
  • 1 teaspoon oil (optional)

Directions

  1. 1
    Oil not needed, only for a second ingredient so it would post.
  2. 2
    Arrange slices in rows, across pans with fat edges slightly overlapping lean edges.
  3. 3
    Bake 375 degrees without turning 20-25 minutes until bacon is slightly crisp.
  4. 4
    I have been draining the grease and flipping the bacon, then back in the oven for 5 minutes or so.
  5. 5
    Watch closely.
  6. 6
    DO NOT OVERCOOK.
  7. 7
    Drain or skim off excess fat at needed.
  8. 8
    Drain thoroughly on paper towels.
  9. 9
    For those with a convection oven use 325 degrees 20-25 minutes.
  10. 10
    The longer you bake after 20 minutes the greater the risk of producing a dry, burnt piece of bacon.

Mmmm good! Mine took about 30 minutes at 375; and I cooked a whole package of thick sliced bacon and sprinkled brown sugar on it as suggested by another review.

    I started preparing my bacon this way when my daughters were in school. I cook it until it is almost done and then drain it on paper towels. I then place it in a container with waxed paper in between the slices and place it in the freezer. I take out however many slices I need and place them in the microwave for about 1 minute. Bacon for breakfast even on school days!

    I have been baking my bacon for some time. The proper time for my oven is about 15 minutes at 325. If I use 350 or higher, the bacon begins to burn. This is great for busy mornings, as it allows your attention to go to the rest of breakfast prep, or even a quick shower while the bacon cooks.
