The resulting bacon was terrific. (This recipe was submitted in 2009. It was tested and photographed in July 2014.) How To Make Maple Bacon Strips Cook the bacon in the skillet, remove and blot the excess grease from it with paper towels. Line the bacon strips up on a cookie sheet and drizzled the strips with maple syrup. Place the cookie sheet in a 400 degree oven for about 10 minutes or until bubbly and sticky. This is an extremely popular recipe with the younger crowd. Just make sure to use real maple syrup, not the fake sugar or high fructose corn syrup varieties.
