Helpful Tips

Helpful Tips

Wrap the bacon tightly. Overlap the strips slightly and tuck the ends under the pork to help it hold together while cooking.
Place the bacon seam-side down. This keeps the bacon from unraveling and helps it crisp better during the final broil.
Don’t skip the Dijon mustard. It acts like a glue for the spice mix and adds the right amount of tang to balance the sweetness from the brown sugar.
Keep an eye on the time. Depending on your slow cooker, this can be done in as little as 4 hours. Overcooking can dry it out, so check for doneness early.
Line your slow cooker for easy cleanup. Using a slow cooker liner or a bit of foil makes cleanup easier, especially with all the brown sugar and bacon juices that can stick to the sides.
