Beer Candied Bacon



BEER. CANDIED. BACON. Enough said!

Beer Candied Bacon Recipe
From Tide and Thyme

Ingredients:
1 lb. thick cut uncured bacon
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup beer (I used Yuengling, but you can use your favorite lager)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet by covering with aluminum foil. Place cooling racks on top of baking sheet. Place bacon on top of cooling racks and bake for 10 minutes. 

Whisk together brown sugar and beer until well incorporated. Remove bacon from oven and brush both sides of bacon with sugar mixture. Bake for another 10 minutes. Repeat at least 3 times or until the glaze has been used. Flip bacon each time you apply sugar mixture so the bacon cooks evenly. Allow to cool for one hour. The bacon will have a hard candy coating. Enjoy!

Tip: Serve in your favorite beer mug!
