Beer-Candied Bacon

This is one of the BEST things I have EVER made!!  I haven't met a man, woman or child yet that doesn't love these little strips of goodness.  I've made it a couple times with whatever beer we happened to have in the fridge.  Next time I think I'll try a darker beer!  People will LOVE it!!

1 lb thick cut bacon
1/2 C brown sugar
1/4 C + 2 T beer

Heat the oven to 400.  Whisk together the beer and brown sugar.

Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil (this makes cleanup much easier).  Place a wire cooling rack on the sheet.  Lay bacon out on the cooling rack - the pieces will probably overlap, but that's ok.  Cook for 10 minutes in the oven.

Remove from oven and brush the bacon with the beer/sugar mixture.  Flip bacon over and brush the other side.  Put back in oven for another 10 minutes.  Repeat the process until all of the glaze is gone and the bacon is crispy. 

Cool and serve
