Crispy and Sweet: How to Cook Brown Sugar Bacon on a Blackstone Griddle
There's nothing quite like waking up to the smell of crispy bacon cooking on the griddle. And when you add a touch of sweetness to that salty bacon goodness, you get a dish that's truly irresistible. In this article, we'll show you how to cook sweet and savory brown sugar bacon on a Blackstone griddle.
Ingredients:
1 lb bacon
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Instructions:
Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F).
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and cayenne pepper until well combined.
Lay the bacon strips on the griddle in a single layer, making sure they don't overlap. Cook the bacon for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until crispy.
Using a basting brush, generously brush the brown sugar mixture onto each strip of bacon.
Continue cooking the bacon for another 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the brown sugar has caramelized and the bacon is crispy and browned.
Remove the bacon from the griddle and place it on a wire rack to cool for a few minutes. This will help the bacon become even more crispy.
Serve the sweet and savory brown sugar bacon alongside your favorite breakfast dishes, or as a delicious snack any time of day.
Tips:
Be careful not to burn the brown sugar mixture when you're cooking the bacon. Keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't blacken or become bitter.
You can adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your liking. If you like your bacon spicy, add a little more. If you prefer it mild, use less or omit it altogether.
Using a wire rack to cool the bacon will help prevent it from getting soggy or greasy.
Cooking sweet and savory brown sugar bacon on a Blackstone griddle is an easy and delicious way to take your bacon game to the next level. The combination of salty and sweet flavors will have your taste buds singing, and the crispy texture is pure perfection.
