Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Put bacon slices in a bowl, season them with pepper and toss with the brown sugar. Cover a baking sheet with parchment or foil and arrange the bacon in a single layer on top. Sprinkle any sugar left in the bowl over the bacon. Top with another layer of parchment or foil and top it, squarely, with another baking sheet. The baking sheet will flatten the bacon as it cooks.
- Place the tray in the center of the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Check the bacon by lifting the top tray and parchment. If it is not golden brown and fairly crispy, resist the temptation to turn up the oven temperature, and cook it for 10 to 15 minutes longer. Check it again. Keep in mind that when you remove the tray and transfer the bacon to a serving platter or individual plates, the bacon will "crisp" up a little more. Be patient!
CANDIED BACON BLTS
Candying the bacon in the oven adds a little bit of sweetness to the mix, enhancing a classic BLT. After the bacon gets crisp, you can overlap the strips, imitating the size and shape of your bread. As the bacon cools, the "caramel" on the outside firms up, making the sandwich easier to assemble -- and eat, too!

Steps:
- For the candied bacon: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line one rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and another with parchment paper. Arrange the bacon slices very close together on the foil-lined baking sheet -- they should all fit on one.
- Sprinkle about 1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar and a few grinds of black pepper over each slice of bacon. Bake until the bacon is evenly browned and very crisp, 15 to 17 minutes.
- While the bacon is still hot, transfer to the parchment-lined baking sheet and divide into 2 groups, overlapping 5 slices slightly on top of each other. Let cool while you prepare the rest of the sandwich.
- For the sandwich: Lay the tomato slices on a large plate and season with salt and pepper. Spread the mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
- When the skillet is hot, add 2 slices of bread, mayo-side down, and toast until deeply golden brown. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining 2 slices of bread. Let cool completely. If desired, spread more mayonnaise on the untoasted sides of the bread.
- To build each sandwich, layer half of the lettuce, basil, onion, tomato slices and bacon between 2 slices of bread. If desired, cut the sandwich in half.
Tips:
- Choose good quality spam. Look for spam that is firm and has a pink color. Avoid spam that is slimy or has an off odor.
- Slice the spam thinly. This will help it cook evenly and absorb the marinade.
- Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade is what will give the spam its flavor, so be sure to use a marinade that you enjoy. Some popular options include soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger.
- Marinate the spam for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the spam.
- Cook the spam over medium heat. This will help prevent it from burning.
- Serve the spam immediately. Candied spam is best served hot and fresh. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Candied spam is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It is perfect for parties or potlucks. With its sweet and savory flavor, candied spam is sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy spam, try making candied spam. You won't be disappointed!
