Burnt my best bacon ever 🥓🔥😭… but it’s still a vibe. 😂✨! Should I try again 🤔? Homemade Bacon Recipe Ingredients 🥓 2 lbs pork belly (skinless and trimmed) 🥓 ¼ cup kosher salt 🥓 2 tbsp black pepper 🥓 1 tbsp smoked paprika 🥓 1 tsp curing salt (Prague Powder #1) #1 3 tbsp maple syrup 🥓 1 sprig fresh thyme 🥓 Instructions Prepare the curing mixture: 1. In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, curing salt, and maple syrup until evenly combined. 2. Cure the pork belly: Rub the curing mixture all over the pork belly, ensuring it is completely coated. 3. Place the pork belly in a resealable plastic bag or airtight container, along with the sprig of thyme for extra flavor. 4. Refrigerate for 7 days, flipping the pork belly once a day to ensure it cures evenly. Bake the pork belly: 7. On the 7th day, preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C). 8. Remove the pork belly from the curing mixture, rinse off any excess cure, and pat it dry with paper towels. 9. Place the pork belly on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Bake until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). This took me about 2.5 hours . 9. Let the pork belly cool completely. Once cooled, slice it to your preferred thickness or thinness. 10. Fry the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, then serve and enjoy your homemade bacon! #fyp #homemadebacon #ediemarie #homesteading #maplebacon #EasyRecipes #homestead #porkbelly
