candied bacon

Okay, this one is long overdue.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Bacon (about a pound)
Sugar (I use Domino's Organic Sugar or Demerara sugar)
a baking rack
cookie sheets

Separate bacon into strips. Dredge each strip, both sides, in sugar, shaking off excess. Place sugared bacon on rack over cookie sheet. Bake at 350 F until almost done (about 15 minutes). Remove and allow to cool.
Ovens vary widely. Do not leave bacon unattended. Remove it from the oven before you think it's done, because the residual heat will continue to cook it. Once you know exactly how your own oven cooks, you can adjust times accordingly. You will save yourself a lot of cleanup work if you line the cookie sheets with foil or parchment paper.

  1. Yeah, depending on your oven, this could take a half hour or more. The important part is to monitor it closely.
