When the holidays come around I try not to punish myself by not indulging in all those dishes I love. I do however, indulge in moderation, so that by the New Year I’m not upset with myself, but also enjoyed the festivities.
One of my cravings is bacon and this recipe for Candied Bacon is worthy of indulging not just because it’s so incredibly tasty, but also easy to create!
Candied Bacon can be served on its own as an appetizer. Simply set in Mason Jars or on a platter once cooked and cooled for everyone to snatch and devour. It’s also a nice addition to salads and other dishes by breaking it into smaller bits for that sweet and savory touch to a meal.
With just 3 ingredients plain bacon is transformed into a luscious treat that makes it hard for anyone to resist. If you want a little heat added to the mix then a sprinkling of cayenne is a nice addition.
This recipe works for 6-8 slices of bacon, but trust me no one can eat just one. Some of the members of my family have been known to eat – well lets just say while I didn’t count, I’m guessing double that number single handed!
I prefer to line my pan with heavy duty foil. Then spray a stainless steel rack with non-stick spray on both sides and set inside the foil lined pan. You’ll want to change out the foil when you flip over the bacon to insure the drippings don’t burn and smoke up the house. Trust me, I found out the hard way!
If you’ve never tried Candied Bacon I’m positive you’ll love it. I mean, what’s not to love!
