Candied Bacon

I am a firm believer that there are few foods more perfect than bacon. So when I found a way to not only easy the cooking process, but make bacon even tastier...well, to say the least, I was ecstatic! 


All you need is some thick cut bacon and some brown sugar! 2-ingredient recipe? With bacon?  It's ok to profess your love for me out loud right now.  I won't judge.

Be on the lookout! …Because I’m going to be employing candied bacon in a variety of ways soon. I’m thinking Candied Bacon & Chocolate Chip cookies and possibly Candied Bacon & Maple Syrup Ice Cream. Yup, that’s happening. I’m sick with bacon power, I know!

1 pound thick bacon
1/2 cup brown sugar

Preheat oven to 350º F. Lay bacon (in all of its bacony glory!) in a single lay on a parchment lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the bacon. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until it reaches the desired level of crispiness. I’d let it cool for a minute before you start stuffing your face with it.  Boom! That’s it. You’re done.
