Ingredients

CANDIED BACON

  • 8 slices bacon (regular cut)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (or steak seasoning)
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar

BLOODY MARYS

Instructions

CANDIED BACON

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Place bacon slices closely together on a sheet pan that has been covered with parchment paper.
  • Sprinkle slices with black pepper or steak seasoning.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes until slices are crispy but not too brown.
  • Take out of oven and sprinkle each slice with brown sugar.
  • Put back in oven and bake for 5 more minutes until bacon is crispy throughout.
  • Remove bacon from oven and transfer to a wire rack to drain. Place paper towels underneath to catch grease. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

BLOODY MARYS

  • Use a lime or lemon slice to moisten the rim of each glass. (Can use water if needed.)
  • Dip rims of glasses into sea salt or rim seasoning.
  • Add ice cubes to each glass until they reach the top.
  • Fill glasses with 4 ounces (¾ full) of Bloody Mary Mix. Add 2 ounces of vodka. Stir well.
  • Garnish with candied bacon, celery stalks and toppings of your choice.

Notes

  • This recipe makes 8 Bloody Marys with candied bacon.
  • See blog post for all the tips on how to make the best Bacon Bloody Mary!
  • My method is a little different than others for making candied slices. I've found that baking them for 20 minutes before adding the brown sugar creates a crispier slice.
  • Use regular cut bacon instead of thick cut because it's not as chewy. There's no need to flip the slices over if you follow this recipe.
