Caramelized Bacon Strips Recipe

We enjoy this at least once a week at THE NIBBLE. Warning: one pound of bacon seems to disappear—it’s irresistible. It can be prepared several hours in advance. You can also mince pieces for the cocktail rim.

Ingredients

• 1 pound thin-sliced bacon (we use a quality brand such as Nueske’s or Niman Ranch)
• 1-1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Place sugar in shallow pan. Coat bacon strips completely on both sides.
3. Place bacon sticks in a large broiling pan or on a rack set atop a pan. Cook until brown, turning once (about eight minutes per side).
4. Transfer to a clean rack to drain. Serve warm or at room temperature.
