I don't care what people say about pork...bacon is GOOD. I know where mine comes from, how it is raised, and even the people who raise them so I feel pretty dang good about eating it. But as with anything, moderation is important, and although you will be sorely tempted, eating this whole pan is probably not a good idea!
Cooking bacon, albeit seemingly easy, does require some degree of patience. Here is my recipe for perfection.
Cooking bacon, albeit seemingly easy, does require some degree of patience. Here is my recipe for perfection.
1/2 lb. bacon
1/4 c. real maple syrup
2 tsp. fresh ground pepper
Preheat an oven to 400 degrees. Place a cooling rack inside of a sheet pan and put bacon strips on rack. This allows the fat to drip and for them to cook evenly. Using a basting brush, light coat each strip with maple syrup and then generously pepper. Cook about 10-15 minutes, depending on thickness, and to your desired doneness.
When it isn't so freaking cold outside, I prefer to do this on the grill because I hate smelling like bacon two days later...regardless of the ventilation, it still lingers through the whole house!
