How to Bake Bacon - How to Series - Have Butter will Travel

Bacon is a staple food in most keto households and we find baking bacon the best way to cook it. One advantage of baking bacon is that you don’t need to stand at the stove top and monitor it. You can pop it in the oven while you are showering and getting ready in the morning and it will be ready when you are.

Another plus is that you avoid the grease splatter all over your kitchen from cooking it in a frying pan. If I have not convinced you yet, give it a go for yourself and let me know you are not a convert!

Cooking bacon in the oven was something Dan actually introduced to Erika. Her grandfather used to cook his in the oven and Dan has adopted this method ever since.

Serving Suggestions

As is! Bacon is absolutely delicious all by it self. Many keto people love to have a batch cooked in the fridge to grab any time they feel hungry.

With scrambled eggs for breakfast. Bacon and eggs our a classic breakfast go to when living a ketogenic lifestyle.

Chopped and sprinkled over your favourite salad. We love to add bacon to salads as not only does it add flavour but it also adds fat to an otherwise lean meal.

As a cracker substitute with Guacamole or our Keto Ranch Dip.
