Recipe Summary Joseph's Best Easy Bacon Recipe

Preparing this recipe is literally the first thing I do after I wake up on weekend mornings. I put the bacon in the oven (must be cold!), brush my teeth, start cooking other breakfast items, and then take the bacon out after 14 minutes - that's it! My bacon theory is that by placing the bacon in a cold oven to start, as the oven gradually heats to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C), the bacon undergoes a magical transformation from cold flabby piece of meat, to simmering deliciousness, to crispy bacon heaven as the oven hits the 425 degree mark. Enjoy!

Ingredients | Cook Bacon In The Oven 425

1 (16 ounce) package thick-cut bacon

Directions

Line a large baking sheet with 2 sheets of aluminum foil, making sure pan is completely covered.

Arrange bacon strips on the prepared baking sheet, keeping at least 1/2-inch space between strips. Place pan in the cold oven.

Heat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Cook bacon for 14 minutes.

Transfer cooked bacon to paper towel-lined plates. Let cool for 5 minutes for bacon to crisp.

I like to use naturally hickory smoked thick-sliced bacon to achieve the best results. You might want to check on the bacon after 12 minutes or so to account for the differences in oven heating times and/or thickness of bacon. Pair this recipe with Ken's Perfect Hard Boiled Egg recipe which also takes 14 minutes to prepare.
