Cooking My Way - Bacon

Candied Bacon

Have you ever tried candied bacon?  If you haven't, I highly suggest you remedy that situation.

It's easy and quick to made and so delicious.

What you need:

bacon

brown sugar

foil

 I simply rub brown sugar on both sides of bacon.  Take your fingers and kind of smooth the brown sugar all over.  Put foil on a cookie sheet to save the condition of your sheet.  Also easy clean up.  Put sugared bacon on foiled sheet and bake.  I use 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes.

 And this is how it looks.

Immediately pull off foil or it will stick.

I set on paper towels to drain but don't keep there long as it will stick.

After a quick internet search, I discovered better method for draining bacon - use brown paper bag.

If you are lucky enough to have some left over to store, 

it will keep for about a week in an airtight container.

To add additional flavor to bacon, try:

chili pepper

black pepper

cayenne

cinnamon

beer - haven't tried this recipe but it looks good (Tide & Thyme)

and any number of other combinations

Happy Eating!
