The key to a perfect balance of flavors is to carefully choose your bacon–also known as meat candy–wisely. I prefer to use a thick slab that is Applewood-smoked or a nice center-cut style.
Breakfast of Champions
–5-6 pieces of meat candy
–1 PBR
In a large skillet with deep sides, lay out 5-6 pieces of the meat candy. Turn the stove temperature to medium and start cookin’!
I like to use a splatter screen, pictured below (that the nice people at IKEA made), to prevent any kitchen catastrophes.*
*This is especially important if you are making this as a hangover cure and might possibly still be drunk.
When the fat from the meat candy begins to melt off, it’s time to turn it over. I find that using tongs for this process allows me to easily turn the candy and lay it out for even cooking.
When the meat candy is evenly cooked and is golden brown on both sides, remove it from the heat. It is important that you drain the meat candy on paper towels so that it doesn’t have a greasy texture and the true flavor shines through.
Remove to a plate and serve with your PBR (in the can is best for optimum flavor). Enjoy!
