Candied Bacon
Serves: 2–4
Ingredients:
6 strips bacon, thick cut
1/3 cup Mexican brown sugar (piloncillo)
1 tbsp chile de arbol, ground
Method:
Setup cooker for indirect heat at 400 degrees F.
In a half-size deep foil pan with a cooling rack inside, place bacon side by side.
Evenly apply brown sugar over the bacon, then sprinkle the ground chile pepper on top.
Cook for 20 to 30 minutes until bacon is done and the sugar has caramelized.
Serve immediately.
Notes:
If desired, substitute regular brown sugar for the Mexican version. Piloncillo is shaped like a cone and it is hard as a rock. Heat it in the microwave for 15 to 30 seconds at a time to soften up. Alternatively, you can use a cheese grater to shave the cone down.
