Kitchen Crack

[AllenOK]

I was first introduced to this stuff years ago. It's ridiculously easy to make.

Spread some bacon onto a sheetpan. Mix together some brown sugar and freshly-ground black pepper. Spread this over the bacon. Bake until the bacon is not quite done (I do this in a commercial convection oven set at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes, home ovens will vary). Remove and drain most of the fat.

We have used this for sandwiches, and are currently using it, diced, as a topping for steak.

Make a BLT with this bacon, and you will be blown away! Or, make a Bacon-Egg-Cheese breakfast sammie.

You'll see how easy it is to become addicted to this "safe" kind of Crack.

Never heard of this, Allen, but it sounds great. So this crack won't get me addicted, right?

I copied your recipe and emailed it to myself so I'll have it available next week when I get to FL and have a real kitchen. Thanks - I LOVE BLTs.

I meant - won't get me addicted to the point where I need hospitals and meetings, ya know?

A local caterer is famous for his bacon knots... ties the strips of bacon into a knot, then bakes with the brown sugar, no pepper, though. Eat them as is... mmmmmmmm

Buzz, you WILL get addicted. Not to the point of needing meetings, but, if you do overindulge constantly and consistently, you may need a hospital to unclog your arteries.

I'm not surprised that other people are familar with this. I originally heard of this, called "Tennessee Mountaintop Bacon".

ALL of these recipes sound yummy!! Do any of you save the flavored bacon fat for future use?

Unfortunately, the sugar and the fat don't really mix very well. I don't normally use it for anything, as we already have a lot of regular rendered bacon fat.

It's sounding a lot like praline bacon!! Love it!!
