Daniel loves bacon; he thinks it’s one of the food groups.
He saw a chef on Food Network make maple pepper bacon and asked me to make some for supper.
Ingredients:
1/2 pound of thick sliced bacon
fresh cracked black pepper
REAL maple syrup
Directions:
Preheat oven to 475•
Take a 9×13 cookie sheet and cover it with foil and then one sheet of parchment paper. The foil will help keep the cookie sheet clean and the bacon won’t stick to the parchment paper.
Spread bacon on parchment paper and sprinkle with freshly cracked bacon. Flip and pepper the other side of the bacon. Put into hot oven and bake for 15 minutes.
Flip bacon after 15 minutes and bake for 10 more minutes until nice and crispy.
Pour maple syrup over the bacon; I didn’t measure but probably used 1/4 cup.
Return to oven for 8 more minutes.
Yum! I made scrambled eggs with cheese and heated tortillas and we made bacon and egg burritos.
