Candied Bacon Recipe
Recipe Type:
Pork,
Bacon
Yields:
6 to 8 servings
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 10 min
Ingredients:
1/2 cup firmly-packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
1 pound thick-cut pork bacon
Preparation:
In a large frying
pan over medium-high heat, slowly cook bacon until bacon is lightly browned on
edges but still flexible, turning over
once, approximately 5 to 6 minutes total per batch
(you'll probably have to do this
in batches); drain the fat
each time. Remove cooked bacon from the frying pan and place onto paper towels to soak up
excess fat.
After draining fat from
the frying pan, reduce heat to low and place all the cooked bacon back into frying pan. Drizzle
brown sugar and mustard mixture over bacon, tossing with a fork to coat.
NOTE:
Sugar melts very
slowly and burns easily; reduce heat if necessary after sugar begins to
caramelize. Remove from heat and transfer onto
a wire rack or a serving platter.
NOTE: If the bacon slices touch each other
on the serving platter, they will stick together.
Makes 6 to 8 servings.
