Maple Praline Bacon
You probably don't need another reason to eat bacon but adding maple syrup, brown sugar and candied pecans really puts regular bacon on another level.
Servings: 4
Cost: 10
Ingredients
- ½ pound bacon
- ¼ cup candied pecans see note if using regular pecans
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar see note if using regular pecans
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup the good stuff
Instructions
- Wrap a sheet pan in foil and lay out the bacon. Put into a cold oven and then set temp to 400°. Cook until almost at desired crispiness. (for me that happens at around 20-25 minutes)
- Meanwhile, chop up the pecans and then mix with the brown sugar and maple syrup. Set aside while the bacon is cooking.
- Once the bacon is almost at done cooking, remove from the oven and drain the excess grease. Then press the maple syrup/brown sugar/pecan topping onto the bacon. Pat the mixture to adhere to the bacon.
- Place the bacon back into the oven and cook until the topping is bubbly (around 5 minutes). Remove from oven and immediately take bacon off the pan and onto a baking rack or plate. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
If using regular pecans (not already candied) double the amount of sugar and maple syrup plus a small pinch of salt to account for the lack of candy coating on the pecans.
