Is it possible to make bacon any better? Yes! Brush it with bourbon and maple syrup, sprinkle on brown sugar & pepper and bake until crispy! Amazing and addicting!
Ingredients
1 Tbs of bourbon
3 Tbs of maple syrup
12 slices of thick cut bacon
⅓ cup of dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°
Line a baking pan with foil, top with a wire rack and place the bacon slices on top.
In a small saucepan, over medium/ low heat, add the bourbon and maple syrup, cook and stir for about 2 minutes.
Brush the sauce on the bacon, sprinkle on the brown sugar and pepper, press into the bacon with your fingers.
Bake for 25 – 30 minutes, until crispy, rotating the pan halfway through. If you’d like it more crispy, turn off the oven, switch on the broiler and broil for a few minutes. Let it cool down on the rack, just loosen it with a spatula. Go ahead, bite into it and you’ll see what I mean, it's amazing right!!
