Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cure

    In a bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until well combined.

  2. 2

    Cure the Meat

    Rub the cure mixture all over the bacon or sausage links, ensuring even coverage. Place the meat in a large zip-top bag or airtight container.

  3. 3

    Add Water

    Pour the water into the bag or container, making sure the meat is submerged in the curing solution.

  4. 4

    Refrigerate

    Seal the bag or container and refrigerate for 5 to 7 days, flipping the meat every couple of days to ensure even curing.

  5. 5

    Rinse and Dry

    After the curing period, remove the meat from the bag, rinse it under cold water to remove excess sugar and salt, and pat it dry with paper towels.

  6. 6

    Cook the Meat

    Cook the cured bacon or sausage links in a skillet over medium heat until crispy and fully cooked through.
