Country Fried Bacon
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!
Adapted from http://www.allrecipes.com
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.
Serve immediately.

Wow that is a different way to do bacon. I have never seen this before. We like bacon so will have to try this.
We thought it was very good, enjoy!
Given that bacon is good any time of day, I am still curious. At which meal did you serve this?
It was an snack! Lol (Honestly) I was in one of those moods where I just felt like cooking and I was making one new thing, we ate it, and then I made another.
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.
Wow!
Thanks!
