Smoke Up Some Bacon Crack- Be The Most Popular Guy/Gal @ Your NYE Party

[DallasCowpoke]

Some of y'all may have run across this recipe done in the oven with maple sugar and brown sugar. Well, being the innovative culinarian that I am. With more than just a passing fancy of all things cooked low-n-slow, over hot coals and well-seasoned wood. I happily present for your noshing pleasure...

Pecan-Smoked Maple Bacon Crack

Step 1) Fry up a rasher of good quality, thick sliced bacon until 3/4 done. Transfer to paper towels and drain. Reserve drippings.

Step 2) Mix 1-2 Tbl reserved drippings w/ 3/4 cup maple syrup.
Step 3) Roll out 1 sheet Pillsbury Crescent dough on double thickness of aluminum foil. Or, if you can't find the crescent sheets, arrange 1 large tube Crescent Dinner Rolls in alternating order, pressing the edges together to form a sheet.
Step 4) Brush dough w/ 1/2 syrup and sprinkle liberally w/ a good quality BBQ rub. Preferably 1 with brown sugar.
Step 5) Lay bacon out to cover dough and brush w/ remaining syrup. Sprinkle w/ more BBQ rub plus 2-3 Tbl brown sugar.

Step 6) Put this on a 225-235 degree smoker w/ 1 small (about 10"x1/2") piece of pecan wood for about 1 1/4 hours. Once the bread is browned well on the bottom and the sugar/BBQ rub bubbling, remove and let cool completely.

Step 7) Once completely cooled, break into small, irregular sized pieces.

Step 8) Go to store and get more ingredients, as you'll likely eat 3/4 of your 1st one by yourself.

Absolutely. Here's 1 recipe that looks pretty good. But if you Google "bacon crack", you'll find several.
