Ingredients

  • 8 slices of thick cut bacon
  • ⅓ Cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon course Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • ½ tsp. smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp. cumin
  • ⅛ tsp. cayenne pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix Dark Brown Sugar, Black Pepper, Sea Salt, Paprika, Cumin and Cayenne Pepper together in a bowl.
  2. Rub slices of bacon with the seasoning mixture and then leave bacon in the bowl – cover bacon as much as possible with the remaining spice mix.
  3. Allow Bacon to sit overnight in the refrigerator.
  4. Fry on medium in non-stick or well seasoned cast iron skillet until dark brown and done
  5. Remove to a plate – do not drain on a paper towel

Notes

  • PRO TIP:  Use thick cut bacon.  It holds up to the spices very well and works best for sandwiches and other applications 
  • Mix the spices together VERY WELL before packing onto the bacon. 
  • You'll want to actually pack the spices onto the bacon.  Pat them in with your hands.  This requires more than a simple dredge through the spices.  Say, "get in there spices" as you pat.  That always helps! 
  • Do NOT drain on paper towels.  Trust me – don’t.  You will end up eating paper towel – and no one wants that.  The paper towel sticks to the bacon like an 800 pound gorilla clings to the last banana in the kitchen on a Saturday night.  Seriously.  You can’t get the paper towel off and you also won’t be able to throw the bacon away – so then you are stuck eating paper towel!
  • Make about three times as much of this stuff as you plan to serve.  People will say things like "that's just sinful, I can't eat any of that" and then you'll see great handfuls of the stuff going right in their mouth.  You'll need way more than you think you will. 
  • When cooking this recipe, make sure your pan is good and hot before putting the bacon into the pan.  You'll want a quick initial sear to set the flavor.
  • Wikipedia loves pig candy too.
