Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb. Bacon  (I prefer thin slices, but use your favorite.)
  • 3 tablespoons Dark Brown-Sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (or more if you want spicier)
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper

Instruction

  • Mix together the brown sugar, cayenne pepper and black pepper, set aside.
  • DO NOT PREHEAT THE OVEN
  • Getting ready:  Cover a rimmed cookie sheet with aluminum foil – cleaning up is much more fun this way. Spray cooling rack with cooking spray – for the same reason as above and set the rack on the cookie sheet. Ok, now you are ready to place the bacon on the rack.
  • Drape the bacon across the cooling rack with a little space between strips. If you need to cut some of the bacon in half to fill in the spaces, that is fine.
  • Place the bacon on your oven’s middle rack and turn the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Take out the bacon, flip each slice over and sprinkle with the brown sugar mixture on each slice of bacon.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes more. Watch closely for the last 5 minutes – it can burn quickly.
