As promised, part one in Brad Newton's "Recipes for disaster for an appetite for destruction for the enlightened connoisseur of foods"

well, a while ago I posted that along with the usual ranting and raving I do on here, I'd start posting up recipes for foods that I enjoy. Today I submit for your approval: New York Maple Pepper Bacon with a Pennsylvania Lager Glaze.

What you'll need:

16 slices thick-cut bacon

1 cup honey

1 cup maple syrup

2 cups Yuengling Lager

2 Tbsp Dijon Mustard

2 Tbsp Mustard powder

3 Tbsp Pepper

The Process:

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Place parchment paper on a sheet pan and lay the bacon strips on it. Cover with another sheet of parchment paper. Bake for 15 Min. while all that is going on combine honey and maple syrup and boil it until it caramelizes. Add the beer and cook it until it's volume is reduced by half (this may take 10 min) add both mustards. Take the bacon from the oven and pour the mixture over top of the strips. return it to the oven for another 10 min. place on a plate covered with a paper towel and serve.

Makes 4 servings. (that's 4 strips for 1 serving, fatasses)
