About

If you need another reason to love bacon, let me introduce you to candied bacon, the amped-up sibling of the bacon you already know and love. Cooked over low heat and covered in sugar, this chile con limon candied bacon is next level with its unique flavors. This candied bacon is one of a kind—first coated with a spicy tequila glaze to add sweetness to the savory bacon, followed by the sour kick from a homemade chile con limon seasoning—and it will make you forget you are even eating bacon.
