    Candied Bacon

    Recipe for candied bacon that is simple and seriously tasty!
    Course Breakfast
    Prep Time 5 minutes
    Cook Time 25 minutes
    Total Time 30 minutes
    Author Kim Beaulieu

    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!

    Notes

    You can use maple syrup and make a glaze.
    I was too lazy for that this time!

      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.

      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 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! 🙂

      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!
