Time: 40 minutes. Everyone loves waking up to the smell of coffee and the smell of bacon, and the flavors are pretty awesome together too. Add some molasses-y brown sugar, and you'll reach bacon nirvana.

The first bite I took of this while it was still piping hot was nirvana. The mixture of bitter coffee, savory bacon and brown sugar...mmmm... This is essentially a recipe for Candied Bacon, which I am not saying is bad at all, but I wouldn't serve it with Pancakes or anything that requires syrup. I made it with some very savory scrambled eggs and hash browns and it went very nicely. I should note that if you are in the habit of putting your bacon on a paper towel to absorb the grease - don't. The sugar will make it stick to the paper.

Bacon turned out delicious. But I have to agree with RenegadeMike, this is more like a 'candied' bacon. I prefer a crisper bacon but the results are still very tasty! Please check out my thoughts and photos on my blog. http://www.beersandbacon.com/2011/12/turbo-bacon/ I modified the writing style of your recipe, but I did credit you and linked back here. Thanks again!
