Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 slices bacon
2 tablespoons finely chopped pecans
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
sea salt to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 Golden Delicious apples - peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (8 ounce) round Brie cheese
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Lay bacon on the prepared baking sheet. Mix pecans, brown sugar, chili powder, and sea salt together in a bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the bacon.

MAPLE PRALINE BACON



Maple Praline Bacon image

I recently took a weekend trip, and I experienced one of the best meals of my life at a fine little establishment that specializes in Southern cuisine. One of the things that made this meal so memorable was the praline bacon that I had, so I took it upon myself to recreate it. The only difference is that I like mine better.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork     Bacon     Appetizers

Time 35m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound bacon
½ cup chopped pecans
3 tablespoons maple syrup
3 tablespoons butter
½ cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons white sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (135 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels.
  • Spread the pecans onto an unlined baking sheet, and toast 7 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown and aromatic. Watch the nuts carefully as they bake, because they burn quickly. Set aside to cool.
  • Stir the maple syrup, butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the hot candy resembles foamy caramel and a candy thermometer reads 270 degrees F (130 degrees C) (soft crack stage). Quickly stir in the pecans.
  • Toss the bacon in the candy mixture to coat each strip, and remove with tongs to cool and harden on the prepared baking sheet. Last but not least... eat up!

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield 8 slices

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 slices smoked bacon (thick cut, or center cut)
3/4 cup Bourbon
1/4 cup brown sugar, plus
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup pecans (halves or pieces)

  • Meanwhile, pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees place an oven rack in the middle. Lightly grease a baking rack and place it on a foil-covered baking sheet.

Yield 60 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 19

5 pounds yellow onions
1/2 cup canola oil
Kosher salt
5 pounds bacon
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 pound light brown sugar
1 cup molasses
1 cup yellow mustard
2 tablespoons Louisiana-style hot sauce
3 tablespoons medium grind black pepper

  • Slice the onions into thin rings and toss with the canola oil and 2 tablespoons salt in a large bowl.
  • Heat a flat top grill to high heat. Saute the onions until caramelized and soft. Reserve.
  • Slice the bacon strips into thirds, crossways. Cook the bacon on the flat top grill until most of the fat is rendered and bacon is crispy. Transfer the bacon to a rimmed baking sheet and reserve.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and cook until fully dissolved and bubbling, 3 to 4 minutes. It will be very hot. Carefully pour the mixture over the crispy bacon. Use tongs or a large spoon to stir the bacon and praline sauce together until well coated. Reserve the praline bacon.

Bake for about 10 min. flip and finish cooking for 10 min.) Cut up rest of BACON in cubes *I use scissors and take about 3-4 slices at a time and chop them into the pan. Cook until crisp (not undercooked or burnt). Set aside. When cooled crumble the pieces up. Topping- Mix Cornstarch, Flour, Sugar, Cinnamon, Pecan chips, then add melted Butter. Then add 2 tablespoons of the Bacon crumble pieces into the mixture. Set aside.
  • 2. Batter- Mix Flour, Baking Powder, Salt and Sugar. In separate bowl beat 1 Egg, then add Milk, Vanilla, Maple Syrup, Applesauce. Stir the wet ingredients into the Flour mixture (do not beat, batter will be lumpy). Then fold about 4 tablespoons of crumb mixture and All of the BACON crumbles into batter. Spoon into liners filling about 3/4 of the cup. Add crumb topping mixture to top of each one, about 2 tbl each, I did not waste this some had a little bit more. Bake until golden brown about 20-25 min each insert toothpick in center and when it comes out clean, its done.

PECAN PRALINE BACON



Pecan Praline Bacon image

This delicious pecan praline bacon is a wonderful addition to the breakfast/brunch menu! Goes great with omelets, pancakes or waffles and fresh fruit.

Provided by BecR2400

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 lbs thick-cut bacon (about 18 slices)
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons chili powder
1/3 cup finely chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425F degrees. Line a large broiling pan and rack with foil, for easy cleanup.
  • Arrange the bacon slices in one layer on the rack of a large broiling pan. Bake in the center rack of a 425 degree oven for 10 minutes, or until they just begin to turn golden.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl stir together the sugar and chili powder. Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the bacon with the sugar mixture and pecans. Return the pan to the oven and cook for about 5 minutes, until crisp and browned.
  • Transfer the bacon, praline-side up, to paper towels to drain.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality bacon. Look for bacon that is thick-cut and has a good amount of marbling. This will help the bacon cook evenly and give it a delicious flavor.
  • Make sure the bacon is completely dry before cooking. This will help it crisp up and prevent it from splattering.
  • Cook the bacon over medium heat. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the bacon from cooking evenly.
  • Flip the bacon halfway through cooking. This will help it cook evenly on both sides.
  • Cook the bacon until it is crispy. The bacon should be crispy, but not burnt.
  • Drain the bacon on paper towels. This will help to remove any excess grease.

Conclusion:

Praline bacon is a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. It is perfect for parties or gatherings. With its sweet and savory flavor, praline bacon is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you are looking for a unique and tasty treat, give praline bacon a try!
