Everybody loves bacon, and we mean everybody. Those little strips of crispy meat with the perfect-tasting fat is something we all can’t resist. It’s great when fried, but the added smoky flavour from grilling makes it even more of a winner!
Here are quick and easy grilled bacon recipes that you can’t afford to miss:
Grilled Bacon-Wrapped Caramel Apple
What you need:
- 1/2 kilogram bacon
- 4 red apples, peeled
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup butter
- 3/4 cup corn syrup
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Wrap the apples with slices of bacon, from bottom to top, until completely covered. Secure bacon with a toothpick. Cook in a pre-heated grill, covered, over medium-high heat for 15 to 20 minutes until apple is softened and bacon is crisp. Insert popsicle sticks at the top of each apple then refrigerate. In a pan over medium heat, combine and cook to a simmer the brown sugar, milk, butter, corn syrup, bourbon and vanilla extract. Remove from heat and allow to thicken. Dip grilled apples in the caramel and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

- 1 pack bacon
- 5 sweet onions
- 1/2 cup sriracha hot sauce

Slice the onions into 1/2-inch thick rings. Brush each ring with sriracha sauce then wrap tightly with bacon. Secure with a toothpick. Toss in black pepper. Cook bacon-wrapped onion rings on a pre-heated grill over medium high heat until bacon is brown and crisp. To make the dipping sauce, mix together 1 tablespoon sriracha, mayonnaise and lime juice. Serve immediately.
