Equipment

  • Smoker
  • Traeger/Pellet Grill

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds thick cut bacon
  • 1/3 cup whiskey (I used Kurvball BBQ Whiskey, link to purchase in post above)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • BBQ seasoning blend of choice

Instructions
 

  • Separate the thick cut bacon and put in a large bowl. Add the whiskey, brown sugar, and BBQ seasoning blend. Use you hands to toss until bacon is evenly coated.
  • Set your smoker or Traeger pellet grill to 225 degrees. Place the bacon in a single layer on the grill grates and cook 1 hour, flip and cook another hour on the smoker or pellet grill.
  • Remove and lay flat (I used baking sheets) and let sit until hardened. Enjoy as is, on a burger, or in a Bloody Mary. Store leftovers in the fridge, covered, for up to 5 days.
