Ingredients
- ½ C Brown Sugar
- 1 TBSP Crushed Red Pepper
- 2 TBSP Black Pepper
- 1 lb Bacon
Instructions
- Preheat your smoker to 400F
- In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, crushed red pepper, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Coat each slice of bacon thoroughly with the sugar and pepper mixture. Twist each slice tightly to create spirals.
- Arrange the twisted bacon on a cooling rack. Make sure the bacon slices are not touching each other.
- Place the cooling rack with the bacon in the preheated smoker.
- Smoke the bacon for about 20 minutes. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t char. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the bacon and the heat of your smoker.
- Once the bacon is cooked and has a nice caramelized coating, remove it from the smoker.
- Place the bacon twists on parchment paper and let them rest for 15 minutes. This will allow them to firm up and become nice and crispy.
