CANDIED BACON
Ingredients:
- 8-10 Slices Uncooked Bacon
- 3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
- 4 Teaspoons Chili Powder
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a cookie cooling rack on top of the foil. If your cookie cooling rack isn’t the non-stick variety, spray it with a little non stick cooking spray and set it aside.
3. In a shallow baking dish (select a dish close to the length of the Bacon), stir together the Brown Sugar and Chili Powder with a fork until well combined.
4. Dredge the Bacon one piece at a time into the Brown Sugar mixture. Give it a little pat to ensure the mixture is sticking to the Bacon.
5. Lay each piece of Bacon on the cookie cooling rack like so.
6. Bake in the preheated oven 20-40 minutes. All ovens cook differently so check at 20 minutes. You want the sugar to caramelize on the Bacon and for the Bacon to be done/cooked through, lightly browned and slightly crisp on the edges.
7. Once the Bacon is done, transfer it to a serving plate, right away, otherwise the Bacon with its caramelized sugar, will stick to the rack as it cools.
