Caramelized Bacon



Caramelized Bacon



Caramelized Bacon is so good.  It is also very easy to prepare.  It is the perfect match between sweet and salty.  Since almost everyone loves bacon you could get away serving this anytime of day.  It would be a welcome addition to the breakfast table.  It would offer a great sweet and salty edge crumbled on top of a salad for lunch.  Serve the bacon strips as an appetizer and people may squeal in unctuous guilty delight.

Caramelized Bacon

Ingredients:

• 1 pound bacon (I use Farmland or Oscar Meyer thick cut)
• 1 Cup Brown Sugar

Directions:

• Place Brown Sugar in bowl
• Coat both sides of bacon with brown sugar (about 3/4 cup brown sugar) by dipping/pressing bacon in sugar
• Put brown sugar coated bacon on foil lined baking sheet
• Bake in 350 oven for 10 minutes, remove from oven and flip bacon
• Sprinkle remaining brown sugar (about 1/4 cup) on top of bacon slices
• Bake an additional 15-20 minutes and till sugar is melted and bacon is cooked and caramelized
• Watch the bacon closely it goes from caramelized to burnt quickly
• Remove from oven, place bacon on wire rack to drain fat and cool, or serve immediately
• Bacon will get crispier as it cools.
