In reply to Linda. Hi Linda! All the ingredients and detailed directions can be found in the recipe card for each post. You can use the jump to recipe button on the Mashed Potato Casserole Post to get the specific ingredients.

I saw ingredients in scalloped potatoes but not in mashed potatoe casserole. For instance you say use eggs but not how many. I need to know the amounts of all ingredients. You say onions but do I use 1 or 2 or just a cup?

This is how foodservice cooks their bacon but without the racks just parchment paper. I will pre-cook my bacon like this prior to going camping and just undercook it so I only have to heat it up. Sure saves on the mess.

In reply to Brynn. Hi Brynn! I think you will love this method. This is BAKED at 400 degrees. The recipe card walks through the details step by step :)

When you say to roast...what does that mean? Broil setting...or bake setting? What temp? I like my bacon very crispy, but hate the frying process. Excited to try this. Thank you!

Just tried it this morning. Was making blueberry muffins anyway, so I decided to make this bacon in the oven for breakfast also. I did brush some real maple syrup on each bacon slice, and cooked it for about 15 minutes. We like our bacon very crisp so I continue to add two minute increments until it was almost the way I liked. I would have let it bake longer, but I need to get those blueberry muffins in. Next time I’ll start with 20 minutes. Thanks for a great recipe.

If you put about an inch of water in your glass jar before you pour the bacon grease in; the grease will harden floating on the water. That will help minimize scraping the grease out of the jar.

In reply to Robs McGee. Oh that is a great tip Rob! Perfect for less clean-up--because those racks can be a mess too!

I've been cooking my bacon in the oven for years. But I hated the clean-up of the rack. So while I line my pan with foil. I also put foil over the rack and poke holes in it with a fork. This helps with the clean-up of the rack as well. 😉

Great tips! You mentioned just a few uses for extra bacon fat. It's the world's best grease for pancakes, waffles, french toast, use it for scrambled eggs, even try using it to replace veggie oil or butter next time you make chocolate brownies. Unbelievable!

Sorry for the dups, Kristen. Still learning this site.
