This Weed Bacon Is The Best Edible Ever

If you’re a bacon-lover, and who are we kidding, of course you are, this weed bacon recipe will turn you into a pot-bellied pig, literally!

This recipe for weed bacon makes quite possibly the best edible ever. And that’s not just because of the unmatched flavor of the bacon itself. Weed bacon is the best edible ever because it’s super easy and quick to make.

Many of the more conventional edibles, like baked goods, require a time-consuming process of infusing fats like butter and oils with cannabis.

Wake & Bacon

This Weed Bacon Is The Best Edible Ever

The recipe for mind-blowing weed bacon is as simple as it is ingenious. All you need are these ingredients:

  • fresh strips of uncooked bacon
  • freshly ground up cannabis*
  • two cookie sheets

*This recipe is a great occasion to use some of that leftover shake hanging out at the bottom of your weed jars.

You should experiment with the right ratio of ingredients. But a good starting point is about 1 gram of ground up cannabis buds or shake for every ten strips of bacon.

Step 1: Decarboxylation!

Decarboxylation: the technical term for “activating” your weed so that it chemically reacts with your body.

If you don’t decarb your weed, your body can’t absorb the wonderful therapeutic cannabinoids it has to offer. So don’t skip this step!

Fortunately, decarbing is easy. Just play it cool, dude. THC turns into its psychoactive variant when it is heated to just about 220 degrees Fahrenheit.

So preheat your oven to 225 degrees. While it’s warming up, spread your ground up nugs or shake on a cookie sheet.

When the oven is ready, toss in the sheet and set the timer for about 30-45 minutes. Sure, there’s a case to be made for waiting longer. But for this amazing weed bacon edible, a half hour should do just fine.

While your weed is decarbing, spread out your bacon strips on the second cookie sheet. Make sure it’s ungreased.

Step 2: Bake the Bacon!

After a 30 minutes or so, remove the ground up weed from the oven. Funnel the powder into a salt shaker for easier distribution. Or just use your hands.

Sprinkle a good amount of ground cannabis on the bacon strips, making sure to cover both sides.

Then, pop the bacon in the oven and turn up the heat to 275. After 10 minutes, flip your sizzling weed bacon edibles. Bake for another 10 minutes. Remove, let cool, and enjoy!

Get The Most Out of Your Weed Bacon

This Weed Bacon Is The Best Edible Ever

It’s seriously that easy. All you’re doing is letting the natural fats of the bacon absorb the activated cannabinoids in the ground up weed.

For other edibles, this is usually a time-consuming and involving process. You’ve got to make cannabutter before you can make delicious weed brownies, for example.

But here, the bacon does the work for you. The THC and other cannabinoids are soluble in the grease. Your bacon is literally soaking up the weed.

And in fact, bacon fat is one of the best for absorbing THC. Bacon fat is better than oils, milk, and other fats when it comes to cannabinoid solubility. That’s because it’s a saturated fat, unlike those others.

So you need to make sure to save all the bacon grease from this recipe! Store it in a jar in the fridge. Every last drop of it is medically activated cannabis bacon fat.

Collect that weed-infused fat and use it in all kinds of recipes. Try brushing it on roasted potatoes for a delicious smokey flavor. Use it to sauté greens. Or you can even use it in savory-sweet desserts like maple bacon ice cream.
