CANDIED BROWN SUGAR BACON RECIPE - (4.7/5)

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425°F. Equipment needed: - Baking sheet - Baking/cooking rack that fits over the baking sheet - Foil Line a baking sheet with foil; this will catch the bacon fat and the caramelized brown sugar that falls to the bottom. NOTE: My newest/preferred method is to spread an even layer of brown sugar on a tray. Press the bacon into the brown sugar, evenly on both sides. Lay the bacon evenly, without overlapping each slice. Bake the bacon for about 20-25 minutes; rotating the baking sheet halfway through. Because the brown sugar caramelizes, and has a tendency to burn, sometimes I turn the oven down to 350°F halfway through the process. Lately, I find that turning the bacon over, halfway through helps to crisp it more evenly. This is all trial and error, depending on how hot your oven runs. Depending on how you like your bacon, you might continue roasting for an additional 5-10 minutes. Do NOT try to blot the bacon or place on paper towels! The brown sugar will cause the paper to stick and you will have a terrible mess. Ahem, I speak from experience.

CANDIED BACON BROWN SUGAR BACON

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with foil. (Use non-stick foil or spray the foil with cooking spray if you want to make your life a lot easier!).
• Preheat oven to 275°F.
• Put brown sugar on a plate. (I don't really measure the brown sugar.) Place a slice of bacon on the brown sugar, patting to help the brown sugar adhere to the bacon, coating both sides. Place on baking sheet. Repeat with rest of the pound of bacon. Sprinkle any remaining brown sugar over the bacon.
• Bake for 20 minutes. Carefully pour off grease. Bake for 10 more minutes. Pour off grease again. Check bacon every 5-7 minutes until browned to your desired crispness, pouring off grease as necessary.
• Let cool slightly and remove to a lightly buttered plate to cool completely. (If it you let it cool completely on the baking sheet, it can be very difficult to remove.)
• We prefer to chill ours for a few hours before eating it. It enhances the flavors vs. eating it room temperature.

CANDIED BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Put bacon slices in a bowl, season them with pepper and toss with the brown sugar. Cover a baking sheet with parchment or foil and arrange the bacon in a single layer on top. Sprinkle any sugar left in the bowl over the bacon. Top with another layer of parchment or foil and top it, squarely, with another baking sheet. The baking sheet will flatten the bacon as it cooks.
• Place the tray in the center of the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Check the bacon by lifting the top tray and parchment. If it is not golden brown and fairly crispy, resist the temptation to turn up the oven temperature, and cook it for 10 to 15 minutes longer. Check it again. Keep in mind that when you remove the tray and transfer the bacon to a serving platter or individual plates, the bacon will "crisp" up a little more. Be patient!

BROWN SUGAR BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Position racks in the top and bottom of the oven. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with foil and set cooling racks into the baking sheets.
• Using your fingers, crumble together the brown sugar, smoked paprika and several grinds of black pepper on a plate. Dredge the bacon on both sides in the brown sugar mixture, rubbing so the sugar adheres. Arrange the slices on the racks without touching.
• Bake until the bacon is crisp and caramelized, flipping the slices and rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom halfway through, about 20 minutes total. Let the slices cool on the racks, turning once or twice so they don't stick.
