How To Bake Bacon
Oven baked bacon is, hands down, the easiest way to get perfectly crispy and delicious bacon with the least amount of mess. Once you learn how to bake bacon in the oven, you'll never cook it any other way... Makes big batches a cinch!

Total Time

Ingredients
- 1 (1-lb.) pkg. bacon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Place a cooling rack on top of a rimmed baking sheet that's lined with aluminum foil. Lay the bacon slices out on the rack, making sure that they don't overlap. More than one tray can be baked at the same time if necessary.
- Place the tray in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. How long to bake bacon depends on the thickness of the bacon and desired crispiness. Check frequently toward the end of the cooking time.
- Pat each bacon slice dry with a paper towel to remove excess grease, and cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Store leftover bacon (is there such a thing?!) in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
