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