Cole Cooks: Candied Bacon Recipe

Share

I love to make my own smoked bacon on our Big Green Egg.  While researching how to do this I came across ideas for making a delicious sounding candied bacon.  I had to do it.  Here is my Homemade Candied Bacon Recipe.

As mentioned, I like to make homemade bacon on our Big Green Egg.  You can see the recipe here.  The good news is this recipe works fine with regular bacon.

 

I got the idea from Meathead at Amazing Ribs.  His recipe basically just involves sprinkling some brown sugar on bacon.  I decided to up the ante by adding some maple syrup and cinnamon.


I mixed up ½ cup brown sugar with 1/3 cup maple syrup and a teaspoon of cinnamon.  This was enough to coat about 8 slices of bacon.

You definitely want to coat your cookie pan with aluminum foil before you put the bacon on the rack.  Otherwise, the sugar mixture will make a mess.

I also cooked some regular bacon slices alongside my candied bacon.  This made it easier to tell when the bacon was done.  It took close to half an hour in a 400-degree oven.

Our Candied Bacon Recipe is a delicious indulgence that we will probably only do on special occasions.  Next up I am going to try chocolate coated bacon.,
