Perfectly Baked Bacon is a no-mess way to have bacon on hand for quick and convenient BLTs, Cobb Salads and all your bacon-loving needs!
They say everything is better with bacon. And, I totally agree!!
With it’s crunchy, salty goodness, I love adding bacon to salads, sandwiches, my morning scramble or just about anything you can think of! The only thing I don’t love about bacon is the splattering mess it makes when I fry it on my stove top.
Enter – Perfectly Baked Bacon!
I just about fell over when I discovered this method of making bacon, because up until that point, “not cleaning my stove” was trumping “enjoying delicious bacon”. And, what’s life without bacon?! 😉
Now with this slow baking process, the mess is relatively contained as 1) it’s in the oven and 2) the grease just kind of oozes out onto the pan. Win!
The full process is in the recipe below, but I’ll let you in on a little secret – place your bacon in a COLD oven! I’m telling ya, that’s the key to perfectly baked bacon. Enjoy!
