Brown Sugar Maple Candied Bacon

8 strips bacon, thick cut

1/2 cup dark brown sugar 

3 tablespoons maple syrup

1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper 

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top to hold the bacon above the surface of the baking sheet.

Mix the brown sugar, maple syrup and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Mixture will be thick.

---

Cut the slices of bacon in half. Place bacon slices in bowl and rub bacon into brown sugar mixture until well coated.

Place slices on to wire rack. Place in preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until bacon is crispy.

Note: If you want to use your bacon for green bean bundles, bake for 15 minutes only. Bacon needs to be pliable enough for wrapping. Remove from oven let cool before using.

Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes or until bacon has cooled slightly to handle. Place bacon strips on a cutting board and chop. Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator.

Use the chopped bacon in scrambled eggs, an omelette, a frittata or mix into a salad or soup.
