Breakfast for dinner is never a bad idea especially with this maple candied bacon crisped on the Traeger!
Make your favorite waffles (my family loves Kodiak Cake’s Power cakes that are whole wheat with extra protein).
Add bacon and an egg on top with kosher salt, ground pepper, and a lot of maple syrup.
Serve with a fruit salad so you don’t feel so guilty.
Maple candied bacon- buy extra thick cut bacon (a must). Throw the strips in a bowl with maple syrup and brown sugar and toss until all coated. Lay out on a rack over a cookie sheet and then grind pepper and cayenne pepper if you like spice with your sweet (you do).
Grill or bake at 400 until you get it as crispy as you like. You may want to broil the bacon at the end if you like it extra crispy.
Finally, a word of WARNING. My daughter was inhaling the bacon on her way to dance last night and started choking. We pulled over and I had to swipe down her throat to pull out nearly a whole piece of bacon she’d been eating. Be careful, it’s so good you may choke.
