This oven bacon hack has completely changed the way I cook bacon.
It is so easy! There’s no cleanup! The bacon comes out crispy and perfect every time!
Rather than cooking the bacon over the stove, you just lay the bacon on a parchment lined rimmed baking sheet and allow the bacon to cook in the oven.
By cooking it gently in the oven, the bacon cooks evenly and comes out crispy and perfect. All while I can get the rest of breakfast ready and not have hot bacon grease spattering on me. Win win!
Did you know almost all bacon has sugar in it? To keep my bacon whole30, keto + paleo I get my bacon from Butcherbox (which I highly recommend!). You can also get sugar free bacon at Whole Foods. Be sure to read your labels!
To get the most value out of my bacon, and to avoid food waste, I save all my bacon drippings in a mason jar. It makes the best cooking fat, I especially like to use it to scramble my eggs!

Love this trick, Natalie!
Another question… can I store the cooked bacon in the fridge and if so, how long will it stay?
Yes! Works great! Good for at least 5 days. Maybe longer! I always go with the “smell test” 😉
Such a quick and mess free of making bacon. Won’t ever make it on the skillet again!
I am so glad you like my bacon hack Olivia! For me it was literally life changing. I love how the bacon stays flat and bakes so evenly.
How long does the bacon grease stay good in the fridge??
Thanks for the question Em. The bacon grease is good in the fridge for up to 6 months. I sure hope this answers your question.
Thank you! I also had this question. Best way to make bacon!!!
It sure is Rachel!
I like this, especially when my husbands cooks, he’s not the most concientious and while he may or may not wash the pan, he’s not very proficient in cleaning the top of the stove..or wiping down the fridge
Yea! So glad you like it Mary! And yes, husbands never clean up as much as we want them too. Hahaha!
