forgot to post yesterday : National Bacon Day ( Aug 30,2014 ) !!! I'm posting here rather than the lounge since this is primarily a male audience and we all love bacon ( hi TD Babe ! ) ..... little something for ya'll to put in your recipe books.

Grandma Lynn's Candied Bacon

Ingredients

1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup REAL maple syrup
1 lb of bacon (thick-sliced)
Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Completely wrap two cookie sheets in foil.
Combine maple syrup and brown sugar until thick and smooth.
Dip each slice of bacon in sugar mixture and place on baking sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from oven and drain grease by tilting pan.
Carefully pour (remove) excess grease into a glass container, then turn over each slice of bacon.
Lightly drizzle sugar mixture over bacon if more is needed. Return in oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until golden.
Remove bacon from foil pan and place onto a glass or ceramic plate to completely cool. (You can lightly spray plate with cooking spray to prevent sticking.)

I'm all over this! Day off Wednesday. Giants at Colorado at noon. Hello Snack!!
