Sweet and Spicy Bacon???

15 years ago

This was in the newspaper this morning and I am debating trying it....does it sound good to you? I hate it when things don't turn out as good as they sound and its a waste of time and money! LOL I think it sounds kinda good.

Sweet and Spicy Glazed Bacon

1 (12oz) pkg thick-sliced bacon

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Line a large baking pan with sides with foil. Coat foil lightly with cooking spray. Arrange bacon slices in single layer on foil in pan.

In bowl, stir together brown sugar,cayenne and black pepper. Sprinkle brown sugar mix evenly over bacon. Pat the brown sugar onto the bacon. Cover pan with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight. Next morning uncover and bake at 350 degrees 25-30 minutes or until crisp. Keeping an eye on the bacon, it can go dark and burn quickly. Transfer bacon slices to wire rack coated with cooking spray. Let slices cool, then cut in half crosswise and thread onto party picks. Serve at room temperature.

I've made this before:

Bacon Candy

1 lb Bacon (not thick-cut)
1/4 cup Brown sugar
Directions
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

Slice bacon into 1/2 inch strips and dredge in brown sugar until thoroughly coated.

Crumple aluminum foil to allow for grease drainage and place it on a baking sheet. Lay out the bacon on this making sure not to overlap pieces.

Bake until crispy. Allow to cool and harden before serving.

***I put mine on the broiler pan rack, sprayed with pam first, and I did turn mine while cooking.

Was good!

It's good stuff Connie! A favorite munchie around here is cubed up chicken breast, wrapped in partially cooked bacon pieces and rolled in the brownsugar/cayenne mix and then baked or grilled.

DEVINE!

Around here we have a pepper people call Long Hots. You dont see them in seed catalogs and Im not sure of there origin but they have quite a following.People have there own strains,some saving seeds for generations. Roasted in Olive Oil they are a must have for many generations in these parts. I smoked some this year and all I can say is I should have smoked more , There all gone Im going to smoke all I can next year. I did not grow them myself but a good friends grow them every year. A real hit at any local Farm Stand , people have gone out of there way every year for generations to get this pepper.

Oh, yes, jasdip, I've made that recipe many times. The first time, I made it as written. It was just too spicy. So now, I cut the cayenne and black pepper back to a scant half-teaspoon each - or less. I use it as bait to get DD and DSIL to visit. DSIL loves that bacon! I have tried to explain to DH that doesn't have to be crispy to be thoroughly done. If I were to boil bacon, I could cook it to the point of being absolutely done, but it wouldn't be crisp. He just believes that it can't be well-done unless it is crispy. Nevertheless, I'm glad to learn I'm not going to kill the fam by feeding them limp bacon.

RECIPE: Spicy Shrimp & Grits
Q

I must confess to not liking grits much...or at least I think I don't. I only had them once while in Florida many moons ago and swear they tasted like wallpaper paste. However I do like polenta so maybe it was just a very bad order of grits. It was at an IHOP so maybe thats a clue ! LOL Tyler cooked this recipe on his "Ultimate" show the other day and it looked awesome. Even this Canadian gal thinks she could manage to enjoy this dish! PS: patti LOL on your looking for a hot crap dip!! Thanks for a much needed giggle! Here is a link that might be useful: Tyler's Shrimp and Grits

I've done wrapped club crackers in bacon.

GS reminded me the other day I had not done that in a while.

Saw the Neeley's on Food Network make this.
Do not think that is on my to make list:

Chocolate-Covered Bacon
Original recipe by PartySugar
Ingredients

6-8 slices thick cut, best-quality bacon
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
4 ounces white chocolate, melted, optional for garnish

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375Ã¯Â¿Â½F.
Place the bacon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the oven, until bacon is cooked to your liking. 15 minutes for soft bacon, 20 minutes for crispy bacon.
Let bacon cool on the parchment paper for 5 minutes then transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
Meanwhile set up a double boiler. Heat a large saucepan filled with water over high heat until boiling. Reduce heat to a simmer.
Set a heat-proof bowl over the simmering water. Add the chocolate chips and stir with a fork until smooth and completely melted.
Cover another baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using tongs, carefully dip the bacon into the melted chocolate turning to coat all sides in chocolate. Transfer to the clean sheet of waiting parchment paper. Repeat with remaining slices of bacon.
Drizzle with the white chocolate, if desired.
Refrigerate until chocolate is hard.

DD's MIL brought that over for Christmas and it was wonderful. She only used the brown sugar and Cayenne pepper and I really didn't taste the spicy which is ok with me. It was delish!

It is known as Pig Candy and it is to die for, you can do it with or with out the spicy part, I have made it many times and have to control myself when it is around!

I do use the thick sliced bacon and prefer the one with the peppered edges I use the full slices and dredge them through the dark brown sugar patting it to make it stick on the bacon.

I line my broiler pan with heavy foil, then spray the top part with pam to help with the clean up, then lay the dredged bacon strips on the broiler pan. If I want the hot type I then sprinkle lightly with cayenne pepper (I prefer with out).
Heat oven to 350 place the broiler pan in the oven for 20 mins,(I do not mess with it no turning just leave it alone) then turn oven to broil crack open the door and watch it like a hawk so it does not burn, when it starts to look crispy and starting to brown jerk it out of there. It can burn real fast so stand there and watch it! Usually less than 5 mins under the broiler.
Let cool, then remove to platter till crisp and eat it all up.

I don't like sugar on everything, guess it's another example of the "Fat Americans" needing sugar on and in everything! A lot of bacon is sugar cured anyway so pouring sugar on top of it is a bit much. It's like coating ham with sugar glaze, veggies with sugar glaze, sugar in coffee, sugary soft drinks. Geez, not everything has to be a dessert, does it? Course, looking at the waistlines on people, maybe it does. Seems like another way to cover up good tasting items.

'Twer I to try it, I'd season the bacon and maybe on some of it put a little sugar and maybe a touch with full bore just as a test but I know what you mean about the waste. Depends if you're a sugar-addict or not as to how much to put on or whether you'd like it.

Now a peanut butter, bacon and cheese sandwich, on multigrain or sourdough toast... them's good eats!
