Notes
- How To Freeze Cooked Bacon: Crispy oven baked bacon can be placed in a gallon freezer bag and frozen for up to 2 months. I recommend patting each slice of bacon with paper towels to remove excess grease prior to freezing.
- How To Reheat Frozen Bacon: When time to reheat, simply remove a few slices of bacon from the freezer, reheat in the oven. Or you can place it on a microwave safe plate, cover with a paper towel, and microwave for about 15 - 30 seconds, or until hot and ready. The cook time can vary, depending on your microwave and how many slices you are reheating.
