Time 50m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 lb bacon
1/2-2/3 cup brown sugar

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with foil. (Use non-stick foil or spray the foil with cooking spray if you want to make your life a lot easier!).
  • Preheat oven to 275°F.
  • Put brown sugar on a plate. (I don't really measure the brown sugar.) Place a slice of bacon on the brown sugar, patting to help the brown sugar adhere to the bacon, coating both sides. Place on baking sheet. Repeat with rest of the pound of bacon. Sprinkle any remaining brown sugar over the bacon.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Carefully pour off grease. Bake for 10 more minutes. Pour off grease again. Check bacon every 5-7 minutes until browned to your desired crispness, pouring off grease as necessary.
  • Let cool slightly and remove to a lightly buttered plate to cool completely. (If it you let it cool completely on the baking sheet, it can be very difficult to remove.)
  • We prefer to chill ours for a few hours before eating it. It enhances the flavors vs. eating it room temperature.

CANDIED BACON



Candied Bacon image

This sugary candy-coated bacon is always a crowd pleaser and is surprisingly easy to make. I like to use sorghum, a grass much like sugar cane, which came to the Americas via Africa during the slave trade. The juice is extracted from the crushed plant and then boiled down into a syrup. I love the rich flavor of it, but feel free to use maple syrup or molasses instead if you like.

CANDIED BROWN SUGAR BACON RECIPE - (4.7/5)



Candied Brown Sugar Bacon Recipe - (4.7/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 2

3 slices of bacon per serving (I use thick-cut quality applewood bacon)
Brown sugar, lightly sprinkled over each slice of raw bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F. Equipment needed: - Baking sheet - Baking/cooking rack that fits over the baking sheet - Foil Line a baking sheet with foil; this will catch the bacon fat and the caramelized brown sugar that falls to the bottom. NOTE: My newest/preferred method is to spread an even layer of brown sugar on a tray. Press the bacon into the brown sugar, evenly on both sides. Lay the bacon evenly, without overlapping each slice. Bake the bacon for about 20-25 minutes; rotating the baking sheet halfway through. Because the brown sugar caramelizes, and has a tendency to burn, sometimes I turn the oven down to 350°F halfway through the process. Lately, I find that turning the bacon over, halfway through helps to crisp it more evenly. This is all trial and error, depending on how hot your oven runs. Depending on how you like your bacon, you might continue roasting for an additional 5-10 minutes. Do NOT try to blot the bacon or place on paper towels! The brown sugar will cause the paper to stick and you will have a terrible mess. Ahem, I speak from experience.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bacon: Thicker bacon slices will hold up better during the cooking process and produce a more satisfying chew. Look for bacon that is evenly marbled with fat and free of excessive moisture.
  • Cook the bacon properly: The key to perfectly candied bacon is to cook it slowly and evenly. Cook the bacon over medium heat until it is crispy and browned, but not burnt. This will ensure that the bacon is cooked through without being tough.
  • Use a good quality brown sugar: Dark brown sugar will add a richer flavor to the candied bacon than light brown sugar. If you don't have dark brown sugar, you can make your own by adding molasses to light brown sugar.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the bacon, make sure to leave enough space between the slices so that they can cook evenly. If the bacon is overcrowded, it will steam instead of fry and will not be as crispy.
  • Watch the bacon closely: Candied bacon can burn quickly, so it is important to watch it closely while it is cooking. If you see the sugar starting to burn, immediately remove the bacon from the pan.

Conclusion:

Candied bacon is a delicious and versatile snack or side dish that can be enjoyed on its own or added to a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it sweet, savory, or spicy, there is a candied bacon recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy bacon, give candied bacon a try.
