So.... I made Pumpkin Glazed Bacon, because I could! Seriously, no other reason other than I thought it sounded good, and it is!
How do I make pumpkin bacon?
All you need is pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie puree), sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin pie spice, and of course the bacon. Mix the pumpkin puree, condensed milk and pumpkin pie spice together, and then brush each piece of bacon with the mixture. Bake for ten minutes at 375 F, turn the bacon, brush again, and continue baking until desired crispness.
How to serve this bacon
I have to be honest, we ate it for breakfast for dinner, twice, but it's great crumbled on top of Pumpkin Soup or as an addition to Pumpkin Manicotti. You could even freeze it and then reheat it in a pan quickly, that way you can have it all year long. You're going to want to, I do!
