candied bacon

i prefer savory to sweet for breakfast, but i really wanted to try candied bacon (because that's just what bacon needs-more fat!).  i like sweet and salty together (chocolate-covered pretzels, mcgriddles...), so i anticipated loving this.

and i was right.  i may have to make my bacon like this every time now.

here's what i did:

-sprinkled a bit of dark brown sugar in a baking pan lined with foil
-placed a few strips of bacon over the foil
-sprinkled a little bit more brown sugar over the strips
-put them in the oven that was set to 325 degrees
-let them bake for about thirty minutes

the result: smoky bacon with a light coating of sweet, maple-ish flavor.  it has a burnt look, but don't let that fool you-it tastes like bacon heaven.

i paired it with cheddar cheese scrambled eggs (i was going for something really healthy. haha)
