Notes
- Bacon: I love using a smokey, thick cut bacon here!
- BBQ Sauce: a sweet + smokey is my recommended store-bought option, but you can also use a homemade bbq sauce.
- Coconut Sugar: you can sub in brown sugar here if you prefer.
- Storage: store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
