Half-cooked bacon.

[dalmorloson]

I love making ABTs. What I don't love is smoking them so long to get the bacon to desired doneness, that the peppers (especially the bottoms that stick through my pepper rack) get way overdone. I was wondering if anyone has partially cooked bacon 1st before assembling the ABTs? That way the bacon and peppers might finish around the same time.

Yes sir I nuke the bacon to get it about half cooked then use it works great and finishes at about the right time. 25-40 seconds on high depending on the bacon

If Im just doing a few. I will buy the pre-cooked bacon and use it. Its usually thin enough it crisps up pretty quick. And its just one less pan for me to clean as I cook.

Thanks for asking. I have been wondering the same thing. I too have an issue with the pepper being overdone.
