How to Make Perfect Quick and Easy Oven Broiled Bacon

How can you not know how to prepare bacon? It sounds too easy, just fry it up in a pan! But sometimes, if you don’t know a few tricks, even simple things can be a messy hassle. In this post, you will find out How to Make Perfect Quick and Easy Oven Broiled Bacon!

I learned that the hard way. I used to fry bacon on the stove, in a pan. Sounds fine enough, but cooking for a large family isn’t always that easy and can get downright messy when you must fry multiple panfuls before having enough to go around. The stove gets pretty splattered and greasy afterward. Clean up becomes a pain. Also, the organic kind of bacon I like is sliced much thicker and it seems to take twice longer to cook.

So I thought, why not try to broil it in the oven? Good idea! I was very pleased with the result. No mess, easy cleanup, and more exciting… free hands to do something else. A huge time saver! You can get more done at once, like frying the eggs or flipping the pancakes at breakfast, while the bacon is broiling in the oven.

Broiling bacon is much quicker than the popular way of frying it, so you should stand close by to pull it out in time. I actually searched social media before making this post if anyone cooks bacon in the oven. I was surprised that there are many posts about oven broiled and baked bacon. According to some posts, and as I experimented myself

… it takes longer to bake than to broil bacon.

So nothing new I discovered with the idea of broiling but preparing it that way was a good experience. I’d like to share with those who may not know how much more quickly you can prepare your bacon in the oven by broiling, than frying on the stovetop. I hope you find it helpful and easier to prepare perfect, crispy bacon every time – in no time – with no clean up afterward. Perfectly sizzled and crisp! 🙂

Ingredients for Broiling Bacon

• Uncured Natural Bacon

Turn the oven setting to Broil high temperature. Place bacon onto a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil. Place pan in the oven, on the middle rack. Broil for 5 minutes. Remove the pan, flip the bacon over and broil for 2 more minutes.

Transfer the broiled bacon onto a paper towel to absorb grease. Fold the foil inward to contain the grease and discard. Done! All the bacon at once. That’s how quick and easy it is!
