OVEN BAKED BACON

This week I wanted to share with you my favorite way to meal prep bacon for the week. If you’ve never tried baking bacon in the oven before, it’s like the perfect marriage of crispy and chewy at the same time. I also love that it’s hands off - my oven does all the work, freeing me up to prep other ingredients. You can check out the other ingredients I prepped while making this in my latest Meal Prep Monday post.

You can obviously eat the bacon fresh out of the oven when you make this but my favorite thing about this recipe is that you don’t have to. I let it cool and store it in my fridge until I’m ready to use it. That way I can pull a slice or two out for my breakfast or to make a sandwich for lunch or chop it up and add it to a salad whenever I want. The best part is that it tastes just as good reheated as it does when it first comes out of the oven!

You can view a step by step video of the process on my Instagram or in my Tik Tok video below.

@makingitwithdanielle Have you ever tried cooking your bacon in the oven? It’s my favorite way to meal prep it for the week. It’s hands off so I can let my oven do all the work while I prep other things and it turns out chewy & crispy at the same time. I can make a bunch all at once then reheat as needed for breakfast, sandwiches, salads, etc. Click the link in my bio for the full recipe post! #bacon #ovenbakedbacon #mealprep ♬ Countless - Official Sound Studio
