OOh's and Mmmm's before, during, and after eating this bacon will become common place for your household. Every time I just suggest cooking this recipe, those sounds begin. My grandmother, my mother, and I cook this bacon for our family and friends, and it is always a favorite once it has been tried by one and all. This is excellent for breakfast, snacks, or upgrade your BLT to a place it has never been before. Once you have had bacon this way, it will be very hard to go back to the way you did it before you discover this treasure of a recipe. Something so simple CAN be so wonderful!

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound thick sliced bacon
1 ½ cups half-and-half cream
2 cups flour
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ pinch white sugar
2 cups vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Cut the bacon strips in half, and place into a shallow dish with the half-and-half, crisscrossing the bacon in a star pattern. Soak the bacon a minimum of 30 minutes, but no more than 2 hours. This step helps reduce the curling of the bacon during frying, tenderizes it, and adds a wonderful flavor.
  • Stir together the flour, salt, pepper, and sugar in another shallow dish until blended; set aside. When the bacon has finished soaking, remove it from the half-and-half, and shake off the excess. Press each piece into the flour mixture to coat, then set aside. If desired, you can place a sheet of wax paper between the rows of bacon once the plate is covered. However, the flour does a good job of keeping the bacon from sticking to each other.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-low heat. Fry the bacon in batches until browned and cooked to desired degree of crispness, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on a paper towel.

This bacon freezes well, so I often make a big batch and freeze it for later.

I like to crumble this bacon and use it as a topping for salads, soups, and baked potatoes.

I love serving this bacon with eggs for breakfast. The crispy bacon and fluffy eggs are a perfect combination.

I like my bacon with a little bit of a kick, so I added a pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour coating. It gave the bacon a nice spicy flavor that I really enjoyed.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that this recipe is not as unhealthy as I thought it would be. The flour coating is not too thick and the bacon is cooked in a small amount of oil. I feel good about eating this bacon in moderation.

I'm not a very experienced cook, but this recipe was easy to follow and the results were delicious. The bacon was cooked perfectly and the flour coating added a nice crispy touch. I'll definitely be making this again!

I've tried a lot of country fried bacon recipes, but this one is definitely my favorite. The flour coating gives the bacon a nice crunchy texture, and the seasonings are spot-on.

This recipe is a winner! The bacon turned out crispy and flavorful, with a perfect balance of salt and pepper. I served it with eggs and toast for breakfast and it was a hit with the whole family.
