INGREDIENTS
NONSTICK COOKING SPRAY, FOR GREASING
4 POUND SLAB BACON, CUT IN 1.5 INCH CUBES
3 TABLESPOON TRAEGER PERFECT PORK RUB
1 CUP APPLE JUICE
2 1/2 CUP TRAEGER APRICOT BBQ SAUCE
3 TABLESPOON UNSALTED BUTTER
PREPARATION
When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 225°F and preheat with the
lid closed for 15 minutes.
Lightly grease a wire rack with nonstick spray.
Place the bacon cubes in a large bowl and season with the Traeger Perfect Pork
Rub. Toss to coat evenly.
Arrange the bacon cubes on the prepared wire rack, spacing 1/2 inch apart.
Place the rack on the grill grates. Close the lid and cook for 2.5 hours until
fat is beginning to render and edges are lightly browned.
Remove bacon from the grill and transfer to a 9”x13” baking dish. Pour the
apple juice into the bottom of the pan and cover the pan tightly with foil.
Increase the Traeger temperature to 250°F. Place the baking dish on the grill
grates. Close the lid and cook for 1 hour until burnt ends are tender.
Remove the baking dish from the grill, uncover, and pour off any liquid
remaining in the dish. Add the Traeger Apricot BBQ Sauce and butter to the
dish and return to the grill. Close the lid and cook for 20 minutes, stirring
halfway through, or until sauce has thickened and the bacon burnt ends are
coated.
Remove the burnt ends from the grill and serve immediately. Enjoy!
