Snoop’s ingredients

Thick-Cut Bacon: Choose bacon with a thickness that can withstand baking and crisping without becoming too brittle.

Packed Light Brown Sugar: Ensure that the brown sugar is firmly packed when measuring to achieve the right level of sweetness in the glaze.

Maple Syrup: Use real maple syrup for authentic flavor. Avoid using pancake syrup.

Red Pepper Flakes: Be cautious with the amount of red pepper flakes if you're sensitive to heat. You can start with a smaller amount and adjust to taste.

Equipment

Baking Sheet: Use a standard-sized baking sheet lined with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. The foil also helps to catch the excess grease.

Wire Rack: Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet. This allows the bacon to cook evenly as the excess fat drips away, resulting in a crispier texture.

How to make snoop dogg bacon

Brush the bacon slices generously with the brown sugar mixture, ensuring each slice is coated on both sides. Use a brush or the back of a spoon to spread the glaze evenly.

Place the bacon in the preheated top third of the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes at 375 F until the bacon reaches your desired level of crispiness. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning

Tips

Choose high-quality thick-cut bacon for this recipe. The thickness allows the bacon to stand up to the glaze and results in a satisfying texture.

Placing the bacon on a wire rack helps the excess bacon grease drip away during cooking, promoting even crisping. It also prevents the bacon from sitting in its own grease, ensuring a crispier texture.

Brushing the glaze on top of the bacon allows for a more even coating. Alternatively, you can also dip each bacon slice into the glaze, ensuring thorough coverage.

Keep a close eye on the bacon during the last few minutes of baking to prevent burning. Oven temperatures may vary, so adjusting the cooking time accordingly is essential.

The goal is to achieve a beautiful caramelization of the glaze without burning the bacon. Adjust the oven temperature or the position of the rack if needed.

Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your spice preference. If you enjoy a milder heat, reduce the amount, and if you like it spicier, feel free to add more.

Serve this crispy Bacon alongside breakfast dishes and orange juice, on a charcuterie board, or even as a delightful topping for gourmet burgers.

Variations

Candied Pecan Billionaire Bacon:

Add a crunchy twist by coating the bacon with a mixture of finely chopped candied pecans along with the glaze before baking. The combination of sweet, salty, and nutty flavors is delightful.

Smoky Bourbon Billionaire Bacon:

Infuse a smoky flavor by adding a splash of your favorite bourbon to the glaze. The depth of the bourbon complements the sweetness of the brown sugar and maple syrup.

Chocolate-Covered Billionaire Bacon:

After baking and cooling, drizzle or dip the bacon slices in melted dark chocolate. This sweet and savory combination creates a decadent treat reminiscent of chocolate-covered bacon.

Top with feta cheese.
