August 20: National Bacon Lovers Day

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Thick-Cut Bacon
Categories: Five, Pork, Sauces
Yield: 4 Servings

1 lb Bacon in 4 equal(ish) pieces
1/2 c Packed brown sugar
1 tb Dijon mustard
1 ts Worcestershire sauce

Set oven @ 425ºF/220ºC. Arrange the bacon pieces on a
large sheet pan.

In a small saucepan, heat the brown sugar, mustard, and
Worcestershire sauce over medium-low heat until a thick
glaze forms. Reduce heat to low and keep warm.

Cook the bacon for 25 to 30 minutes, until beginning to
turn golden but not completely cooked through. Remove
from the oven and pour off the excess fat into a
separate bowl.

Brush each piece with a generous amount of the brown
sugar mixture. Return bacon to the oven and cook for an
additional 5 to 7 minutes, until bacon is golden and
crisp. (Watch carefully; it can burn very quickly.)

RECIPE NOTES: This recipe can be made using thick sliced
bacon. Do not use thin bacon, it will burn too quickly
before the brown sugar gets a chance to caramelize.

You can divide the bacon between two sheet pans if
necessary, but make sure to rotate them between racks
halfway through cooking time to prevent burning.
