Learn how to smoke your own bacon at this delightful workshop. With a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors, your homemade smoked bacon will be a hit at any breakfast table.
Ingredients: 5 lbs pork belly, skinless. 1 cup kosher salt. 1/2 cup brown sugar. 2 tablespoons black pepper, freshly ground. 1 tablespoon garlic powder. 1 teaspoon pink curing salt #1.
Instructions: To make the dry rub, combine kosher salt, brown sugar, black pepper, garlic powder, and pink curing salt in a bowl. Apply a thick layer of the dry mixture to the pork belly, making sure to coat it completely. In a large, resealable plastic bag, place the seasoned pork belly. Refrigerate for seven days, turning the bag every day to distribute the curing mixture. Once the seven days have passed, take the pork belly out of the bag and give it a good rinse with cold water. Using paper towels, pat dry. Set the temperature of your smoker to 200F 93C. Use fruitwood chips to achieve a smoky-sweet taste. Bake the bacon for 34 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 150F 65C, in the preheated smoker. After letting the smoked bacon cool, cut it into the desired thickness. Saute the slices until they are crispy in a skillet and savor your homemade smoked bacon!
