I bet you have never had bacon like this before! Thick sliced bacon soaked in Half and Half, dredged in seasoned flour then deep fried for the most delicious bacon ever!

Slice the bacon in half.

Separate the pieces of bacon and place them flat into a

shallow dish. You will only get half of the bacon into a

9” x 13” dish so use two dishes.

Pour enough Half and Half over the bacon just to cover it.

Refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes but not more

than 2 hours. This step helps reduce the bacon from

curling and adds a wonderful flavor.

Whisk together the flour, salt, pepper and sugar in a shallow dish.

Remove the bacon dish from the refrigerator then take

bacon a piece at a time and shake off excess Half and Half.

Place the bacon into the flour mixture, coating both sides.

Heat oil to about 365 degrees over medium heat.

Carefully drop the bacon into the oil turning over

halfway through cooking. Once golden brown,

place the bacon in a single layer onto a plate

covered with paper towels.

      • Sometimes that is a better way to eat. You enjoy each thing more because you are not full from a huge meal and you can concentrate on the flavors and textures of that one thing.
