Candied Bacon

After a weekend entirely too full of bacon I figured why not make even more bacon!

Without further ado, I give you candied bacon.



 
Step 1: Lay your bacon out on a rack over a sheet pan (foil optional, I just find clean up easier with it)


Step 2: Mix up some brown sugar and maple syrup - I just eyeball it until it's kind of an "ooblec" consistency (kind of liquid but not free flowing)

Step 3: Slather your bacon with the gooey sugar mix.  Put in a 225ºF oven for about 1 hour and 45 minutes (time will vary depending on how thick your bacon is cut and how crispy you like it...I recommend checking in on it every 20-30 minutes to avoid burning).

Step 4: Remove and let cool.  Refrigerate for extra crispiness and to store.

Serving suggestions: breakfast side, cut into small pieces and serve as munchy bites with beer, atop a salad, or just grab and nosh.


Thank you Derek for your alterations to this recipe!
