Cook the bacon

Preheat oven to 375℉. Place 1 pound of thick-cut bacon in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until crispy, about 20 minutes.

Make the glaze

Combine 3/4 cup lager (1/2 bottle), 1 cup pure maple syrup, 2 tablespoons black pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan.

Reduce it

Bring the glaze to a simmer over medium heat, and cook, stirring often, until the liquid is reduced by half and looks thicker than syrup, about 20 minutes.

Brush it on thick

Brush a thick layer of glaze over the bacon and bake until caramelized, 8-10 minutes.

Cool it

Let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes or until glaze hardens.

You're welcome.

Mmmmm.....maple candied bacon.:yum:

If you somehow added cheese to that recipe, it could possibly be the most unhealthy recipe on the planet. Sounds good.:cert:

Sounds like they pick it up with something else. I for one do not want to know what that is. :ohnoes:

Recipe says that you can leave it out overnight.

Hell, it would probably be good even if you wrapped it around broccoli.

Trust me. When I make this today. It won't last an hour after cooling off. :funnier:

[Cybercowboy]

Then dip in chocolate.

I've got it! Dip in cheese fondue.:yesnod:

Bacon is cured anyway. Nothing will grow on it. I have left both cooked and uncooked bacon out overnight and still eaten it (after I cook it)

Any recipe with bacon in it, that calls for additional salt is just evil.
