Easy Microwave Bacon Recipes

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp and browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels and reserve 1 tablespoon bacon grease. Crumble bacon once drained and slightly cooled.
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine sugar, syrup, and salt in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat in microwave oven until bubbling, about 4 minutes.
• Stir bacon, pecans, reserved bacon grease, and vanilla extract through the sugar mixture; heat in microwave oven for 3 minutes more. Immediately add baking soda and stir just until foamy.
• Working quickly, spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Let cool until set, about 15 minutes. Break into bite-size pieces.

Steps:

• Spray microwave bacon tray with a non stick cooking spray.
• Decide how many slices of bacon you will place on your microwave bacon tray.
• Lay bacon on paper towel; spread mustard thin on each slice of bacon. (one side only).
• Add brown sugar to zip-lok bag and place bacon in bag and shake.
• Place a paper towel on top of bacon-cook bacon as you would normaly do.

Steps:

• Note: I DO NOT recommend a paper plate due to danger of fire.
• On a microwave-safe dish (such as a Corelle dinner plate/or 8 x 10-inch Pyrex glass baking dish), lay down 2 sheets (double layer) white paper towels. Place 6 thick slices bacon on the paper towels (not overlapping each other). Cover the bacon slices with 1 sheet of white paper towel.
• Microwave on high for 5 to 6* minutes.
• Rotate dish and microwave on high for about 5 to 6* minutes more (*note: microwave ovens vary, so cooking times may vary; time is for my microwave), or until done to your liking (I like mine crisp). Be careful not to burn the bacon.
• Remove from microwave. Your bacon is ready!
• NOTE: You can use regular slice bacon as well, just reduce cooking time by a minute or two.
