Recipe: Candied Bacon

Candied Bacon

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
1 pound thick-cut pork bacon

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, slowly cook bacon until crisp (you'll probably have to do this in batches); drain the fat each time. Remove from pan and place cooked bacon onto paper towels.

After draining fat for the last time, reduce heat to low and put all the bacon back into frying pan. Drizzle sugar and mustard mixture over bacon, tossing with a fork to coat. Remove from heat and transfer onto a serving platter.

NOTE: If the bacon slices touch each other on the serving platter, they will stick together.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.
