Tequila brown sugar bacon is God's gift to bacon. Dark anejo tequila and dark brown sugar coat this oven-baked bacon and create crisp, caramelized strips of smoky bacon. #bacon #ovenbacon #baconcandy

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup dark Anejo Tequila
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 pound bacon

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet (or two, depending how big your baking sheets are) with parchment paper.
  2. Lay bacon slices in a single layer on the baking sheet (using two if they all won't fit on one). Brush bacon on both sides with tequila. Sprinkle brown sugar on both sides of the bacon.
  3. Bake until crispy, about 25-30 minutes. Remove bacon to a paper-towel lined plate and let cool at least 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Remove bacon from the baking sheet as soon as it comes out of the oven. If allowed to cool on the baking sheet it will stick and not come off.
