Started with a 2lb Duroc belly I found at Kroger. Cured, smoked on the BGE for a couple of hours, with a mix of cherry, hickory, and maple pellets.
Pulled out the ginormous slicer this morning, and sliced it up.
Read somewhere about dredging bacon in flour, then giving it a go in the oven.
And then… a most glorious breakfast sammie. Homemade toasted honey wheat sammich bread, cheesy omelet, bacon bits, and a drizzle of the mango habanero jelly I made recently.
It was well worth the effort

I frequently cook bacon in the oven. Never heard of the flour dredge. What is it supposed to achieve?I usually set my oven at 275-ish and let the bacon ride for a few hours and the fat/drippings I get/save are clear/clean. How does the flour effect the rendered fat?

It hit. Better than the chicken fried bacon I've had before. You may have noted that there were 4 strips dredged, but just a few crumbles on the sammichJohnInCarolina said:Very cool! Do you think the flour trick worked? I haven’t seen that before.
Read about a mom 'n' pop diner type of place that dredges the bacon in flour, rests it overnight, then bakes it in the morning for breakfast service.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -
It adds another layer of crispy goodness. My usual MO for bacon in the oven is 375F, on a rack + rimmed baking sheet, for about 15 minutes.HeavyG said:I frequently cook bacon in the oven.

The rendered bacon grease was mostly clear, with a few blobs. Easy to pour off just the grease.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -
There was some kind of gap between the bacon coming out of the oven, and ending up on the sammie.Legume said:Is your bacon ratio off?#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -

Thought is was going to be post about your kids. That bacon looks amazing.

Tried some bacon without dredging this morning. Still good, but the dredged bacon may be winning.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.
