What about baked bacon bits?
Now that's some witchcraft right there. I don't know whether to burn you or bless you.
I’ve been told you can bake bacon
I did that once, no one liked it.
Something must have been off. Seriously I tried it once and switched to oven bacon. The advantage is evenly cooked bacon with more of the fat rendered with very good control over the crispiness. I use a wire rack on top of a cast iron skillet which helps regulate the heat and even it out, plus the grease then drips in the pan, further seasoning it. I don't use high heat (number 6, whatever temp that is) and it takes about 20 minutes. Bonus, once you get it timed, you can set a timer and forget it, only checking it 1 or 2 times.
I don't have a wire rack so I didn't use one. Also I think I may have over cooked them.
I have a friend that swears by oven bacon too.
The only time it does not work well is if you have different thickness of bacon mixed together since the thin ones will brown quicker than the thick ones.
