I tried this tonight and it was wonderful. The BLT is my wife's favorite sandwich. She was not feeling well tonight and I made this for her and she thinks I am brilliant.
Thanks WildBill!
I thought I would share this with those of you who like to smoke meat. It is delicious. You better make extra because it is hard for some reason to get from the smoker back to the house...
Thick Sliced Smoked Bacon (Wright brand is what I use from Sam's)
½ Cup Brown Sugar
¼ Cup Bbq Rub (home made or store bought)"
½ tea Cayenne Pepper
I use a cookie sheet and a full size cooling rack to make clean up easy. Just cover the cookie sheet with aluminum foil, sit the rack on the sheet, and spray the cooling rack with cooking spray. The mess won’t be bad at all and it keeps your smoker clean too.
Combine the Brown Sugar, Rub, and Cayenne in a bowl and Lay the strips of bacon out on the wire cooling rack and dust each side with a generous amount of the sugary mixture. I go extra heavy. Fire up the cooker to 350 degrees and place the pan in the center. The total cook time is about 45 min – 1 hour.
Flip each piece of bacon over half way through the process. The sugar mixture caramelizes over the bacon and gives it a sticky, candy coating. The bacon strips should be bendable not crispy. After they cool for 30 minutes, it will harden a little. Just leave it on the wire racks and leave it alone…..if you can. The first rack always disappears before it has time to cool.
