Make Ahead Batch Bacon
Description
The recipe involves arranging bacon slices in a single layer on foil-lined baking sheets and baking them at 425°F (or 400°F if using convection) until crisp and browned, approximately 18-20 minutes. The process includes rotating pans halfway to ensure even cooking. After baking, the bacon is drained on paper towels.
For long-term storage, the cooked bacon can be frozen in single layers separated by parchment or wax paper on a baking sheet, ensuring pieces do not stick together. Once frozen solid, the bacon layers are transferred to a freezer-safe bag, allowing removal of individual slices as needed. This method retains crispness and flavor, simplifying preparation for future meals or snacks.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Bacon about 24 slices
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees or if using convection mode preheat to 400 degrees. Place oven racks on lower middle and upper middle positions.
- Arrange the bacon in a single layer on two rimmed foil lined baking sheets. Place both baking sheets in oven and bake until crisp and browned, about 18-20 minutes. Make sure and rotate the pans halfway through the baking process.
- Remove from oven and transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate. Serve immediately or freeze ahead for later.
TO FREEZE
- Remove foil from baking pans and discard. Place parchment or wax paper on baking sheet.
- Arrange bacon in a single layer on baking sheet, add another piece of parchment or wax paper and layer another layer, making sure pieces aren’t touching. Freeze until hard, about 2 hours. This is a critical step, so don’t skip this.
- Transfer to gallon sized freezer safe bag and remove one piece out at a time as needed.
