Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 F. Line two baking trays with aluminum foil, and lay the bacon slices on the foil. Bake for 18-20 minutes until bacon is cooked and crispy. Remove from oven and transfer to a paper-towel lined plate to drain off any fat. Try to remove as much of the fat as possible, as the dryer the bacon is, the better it will freeze. Let cool to the touch. Tip: reserve the bacon fat, if desired. Congealed bacon fat is a wonderful butter replacement in baking!

Step 2

Once bacon has cooled, transfer to a food processor and chop until broken into tiny bits. Transfer the bacon bits to a jar or freezer bag.

Step 3

Store in the freezer and use whenever you need 'em!
