Candied Bacon
Ingredients
- 1 Pound of Bacon thick sliced works best
- ½ cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Prep cookie sheets (I used 2) by placing parchment on them. Set pans nearby.
- Scoop ½ cup of the brown sugar onto a plate.
- Take strips of bacon and dunk the bacon into the brown sugar. This part gets a bit messy but it's worth it. Make sure you turn it around and coat the bacon well.
- Lay the bacon on the parchment.
- Place in oven and cook for 15 minutes.
- Peek in and see how it's doing. Cook another 5 minutes.
- Check again and adjust time depending on how well done you like your bacon. You can cook for another 5 minutes if you like yours really dark.
- Remove from oven and pull the strips off the paper after a few minutes.
- Place on a serving plate.
- Serve with a big old "oops I ate all the candied bacon and the serving platter is now empty" smile!

I've never tried candied bacon but it sounds really delicious. My favorite brunch food is quiche or an omelette.

candied bacon: it's the thing you think maybe you'll eat one of and instead you eat like, all the bacon.
i know. trust me.
Abbe@This is How I Cook
I've been making this for a number of years and so I can really tell you that it is positively addicting! Everyone loves it. The only thing different i do is add lots of black pepper on top. Get that sweet, spicy, vibe going, you know. Or you can use black pepper bacon.

I actually abhor black pepper. Isn't that weird? Most foodies just love it. I won't touch anything that has pepper on it. I always wonder what folks think when I make dishes that should have pepper on it but I never include it. Hubs picked me up black pepper pistachios once, let's just say he never did it again. Bah ha ha!

I made bacon jam and... ehhh... not sure I liked it.
Kim Beaulieu
I have yet to try bacon jam. Not sure it would be something I'd go for. It seems...odd. lol

That is too bad that Canadians are being excluded. Well, I am not a Canadian (not even sure what I am, haha) but as a symbol of my solidarity - I am disqualifying my self from entering this giveaway! I am just interested in commenting on your blog, Kim and of course to drool at that candied bacon! Have a good week my friend! 🙂

Kim - I ADORE candied bacon and I also add a bit of black pepper or aleppo pepper to the mix - sweet/spicy - totally addictive 🙂

It always brings a tear to my eye when I can't enter these US-resident only contests 🙁 But at least I get candied bacon out of today's post - I LOVE the stuff. No joke - I can pop it like candy. I candied bacon for chocolate chip cookies in the summer and it changed my world. I think we'd all be happier if we incorporated the stuff into our daily lives.

I have always wanted to try this, but it would be so much easier if I could just reach into the computer screen and eat what you have already made! I don't know if I can wait to make it myself it looks SO good!
