Did someone say bacon?!

Boy oh boy, do I have something for you today! I was trying to find a creative way to use the bacon in the fridge, and I remembered when Epicmealtime was big on Youtube and how they candied bacon by putting brown sugar on top. Sounds good, but I wanted something more. Other recipes I have seen was maple and brown sugar. Which also sounds fantastic, but I wanted something to make the recipe more my own. I found some honey by the maple syrup in the cabinet, so guess what... I went with honey, maple syrup, brown sugar, and crushed red pepper! These were liked by most importantly @alovelymess, as well as the rest of the fam. We had some killer BLT's!


First, preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Then I lined a cooking sheet with aluminum foil to help with clean up, and stuck a rack on top of the pan.

Next, you guessed it...Bacon! Thick cut works best for this.

There's no real guide here, but I mixed up 1/8 cup honey, and 1/8th cup maple syrup. However much you decide, just do a 1 to 1 ratio.

After that, I sprinkled brown sugar over them. I also added black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes to some because I love sweet and spicy flavors!

Put them in for 15 minutes, then flip them and do the same honey/syrup mixture with brown sugar. Put back in the oven for another 10-15 minutes, it depends on how crispy you like it.

If you can't wait for it to cool off, dig on in!

Okay, this is a good post with very good photos. I love bacon-but maple on bacon ruins the the whole damn thing! :) I know, opinions differ. Gag. :)

Haha! I understand, it isn't for everyone! Thanks for the comment!

I'm just not a sweets guy, but I love bacon and spice. How about brushing bacon fat on the bacon with the red & black pepper, now were talking.

It came out looking great.

That also sounds great!! May give that a try.

Thank you!

I will be doing this.
