Cooking Times. Cooking times vary depending on the type of oven, the thickness of the strips and how crispy you like your bacon. On average, bacon takes about 15 to 20 minutes to cook from the time you put it in a non-preheated oven, though you should check the progress after 10 to 12 minutes. You may need to remove the pan midway and drain off excessive amounts of bacon grease to reduce splattering.
