Praline Bacon: Sugar + Bacon = Good Times
Filed Under: Recipes
Tags:
Sugar-crusted bacon with a peppery kick contrasts the creamy saltiness of Blue cheeses. The mouthfeel is unforgettably lush and the flavor is addictive. That just may be the understatement of the year.
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup almond meal (or ground almonds, pecans or walnuts)
- 2 tsp. dry mustard
- 1 tsp. salt
- 12 slices thick-cut or slab pepper-encrusted bacon
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Combine all ingredients but bacon in a wide, shallow dish. Dip and press each slice of bacon in sugar mixture on both sides. Lay bacon strips on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle additional sugar mixture over the bacon slices in the pan.
Roast the bacon until the fat begins to render, about 6 min. Rotate the pan front-to-back and continue roasting until the bacon is crisp and brown, about 8 to 10 min.
Remove, cool and break or cut bacon into bite-sized pieces.
Serve warm or cold with cheese.

That looks very good. Do you think it would work with Splenda brown sugar?

Hell yeah, I think it would work just fine. Thanks, Greg.
