Notes
Chef Notes:
How to Reheat: There are several ways to reheat bacon. You can grill it, place it in a pan and cook over low heat until hot or place back in the oven at 350° for 2 to 3 minutes or until hot.
Pay close attention to it when reheating as it can burn very easily.
Make-Ahead: You can make bacon up to 1 day ahead of time. Reheat and drain before serving.
How to Store: Place covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
This recipe is done for regular cut bacon. If you want to use thick cut bacon add 3-5 minutes to your baking time.
Try adding some cracked pepper to the top of the bacon before baking or drizzling on a little maple syrup for baking to enhance the flavor.
Don’t you dare throw away the rendered back fat, strain it off into a container and keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze it for up to 2 months.
