CHEESY SMOKY BACON STRIPS {PRINT THIS RECIPE}
Yield: 10-11 strips Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 30 minutes
½ pound thick sliced bacon
freshly ground black pepper
smoked paprika
5 ounces finely grated sharp cheddar cheese
Baking sheet with rack insert
aluminum foil
-Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line the baking sheet with aluminum foil and place the rack insert inside. Place the bacon strips on the rack, making sure not to overlap them.
-Sprinkle each strip with a little black pepper and a little smoked paprika. Bake in the preheated oven for 23-25 minutes. *Note – If you like really crispy bacon, allow the bacon to remain in the oven to your desired doneness. Remove the bacon from the oven and sprinkle each strip of bacon with the grated cheese. Return the bacon back into the oven for approximately 3-5 more minutes. Remove, cool slightly and enjoy.
Sorry to eat in front of you, but I just can’t help myself…
WOW, that was good! So good, that I think I have to have another 🙂
Can I tempt you too? Think about how great this bacon would be alongside a big pile of scrambled eggs, or maybe on top of a summer BLT with fresh, juicy tomatoes. Be still my heart!
