Instructions

1. 01

   Preheat smoker to 375F.

5.  

   

6. 04

   Brush Maple Glaze on top of bacon on wire rack.

7. 05

   Place in preheated smoker or oven and let cook for 50-55 minutes, make sure you start checking on it at the 40-45 minute mark as cooking times can vary for a variety of reasons.

8. 06

10. 07

    When bacon is a dark amber color remove from the smoker and toss in the churro mixture on all sides to your taste level. The bacon may not be hard immediately when it comes off the smoker, however the caramelization process of will crips and harden the bacon after about 5-10 minutes. Serve immediately or allow to cool and serve when ready.
