Billionaire Bacon, also known as Millionaire’s Bacon, is a luxurious take on the classic breakfast side dish, elevating it to a decadent level. It’s thicker, sweeter, spicier, and much more flavorful than your standard bacon. This gourmet version involves thick-cut slices of bacon coated in a special blend of ingredients that caramelize and crisp up beautifully when baked or fried. Here’s a simple recipe to make your own Billionaire Bacon at home.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound thick-cut bacon (about 8-10 slices)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust according to heat preference)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional for a smoky flavor)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional for extra richness)
