Welcome to the 2019 Bacon Bible

Cooking 3 slices of perfect bacon is an art form. And by perfect, we mean perfectly cured, smoked, and glazed. Follow our 3-step process to achieve this level of culinary nirvana:

Step 1: Curing (a.k.a. the Hard Stuff)

Combine 1 cup of kosher salt, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 1/4 cup of pink curing salt in a bowl. Rub the mixture all over 3 slices of bacon, making sure to get some under the rind as well. Place the bacon in a ziplock bag and refrigerate for 24 hours. Yes, 24 hours. Don't even think about it.
