Time P6DT6h10m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 pounds raw pork belly
½ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup sugar-based curing mixture (such as Morton® Tender Quick®)
1 gallon cold water, or as needed
1 (10 pound) bag charcoal briquettes
hickory or apple wood chips

Steps:

  • In a 2 gallon container, mix together the brown sugar, curing mixture, and water. Submerge the pork belly in the mixture so that it is covered completely. If the meat floats, you can weigh it down with a dinner plate or similar object. Refrigerate covered for six days.
  • Light charcoal in an outdoor smoker. Soak wood chips in a bowl of water. When the temperature of the smoker is between 140 and 150 degrees coals are ready. Smoke the pork belly for 6 hours, throwing a handful of wood chips on the coals about once an hour. Store in the refrigerator. Slice and fry as you would with store-bought bacon.

This bacon recipe is a great way to use up leftover bacon grease. I like to use it to make cornbread or biscuits.

I've tried many bacon recipes, but this one is by far the best. The bacon cooked evenly and didn't shrink up too much. It was also very easy to clean up.
