BAKING BACON

  • This recipe starts with bacon! Crispy, crumbled, and lots of it!
  • The easiest way to cook bacon is to bake it! Have you tried it before? It's the best way to get perfectly crispy, crumbly bacon for this tater tot egg bake!
  • Never again will you stand over the hot stove, endlessly flipping bacon while getting burned by spitting and spattering grease!
  • All you do is arrange the bacon in a single layer on a parchment/foil-lined baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 20ish minutes and that's it!
  • If you need your bacon crumbled (like you do for this recipe), wait until the bacon has cooled enough to handle the foil that it's on, then gently fold the foil in on itself crunching and crumbling the bacon right inside. Voila! Quick and easy crumbled bacon with virtually no mess!
