Ingredients

  • 1 lb bacon, thick cut
  • ⅓ cup light brown sugar (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat smoker to 225°F. If you want candied bacon, sprinkle sugar and black pepper over it.
  • Place bacon directly on grill grates. Smoke for 2 hours or until it reaches your desired crispiness.

Notes

  • Use apple, hickory or maple wood for smoking. They all complement the bacon perfectly.
  • I like to make half the bacon candied and half the bacon without sugar just to have two different options.
  • Let the bacon rest for 5 minutes so it firms up.
