Candied Bacon & Pecans
1/2 lb bacon
1 oz pecans roughly chopped
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter
pinch of salt and pepper
For Potatoes
3 sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup raisins
2 oz pecans chopped
pinch salt and pepper
1. To candy the bacon, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cut the bacon into 1-2" pieces, place in a small bowl.
2. Melt the butter, use a microwave safe dish for 20 seconds. Pour the butter, brown sugar, pecans, salt and pepper over the bacon and mix well.
3. Spread out onto a sheet pan and bake for 15 minutes or until bacon starts to crisp. Use a spatula to remove and spread out onto parchment paper. Set aside.
For the sweet potatoes:
1. Dice the potato into 2 inch chunks, boil until just slightly fork tender. Drain all water and set aside.
2. In a microwave safe dish, add the butter and brown sugar. Heat for 20 seconds in the microwave, or until butter is completely melted. Pour over the sweet potatoes, add the raisins, cinnamon, salt and pepper and half of the candied bacon/pecan mixture. Stir until combined.
3. Transfer to a baking dish and top with remaining candied bacon and pecans.
4. Bake for 20 minutes on 350 degrees.
