Ingredients

  • 1 package bacon about 12 pieces
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, and place wire rack on tray.
  • Arrange bacon slices in a single layer on wire rack. Sprinkle each slice with about 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Add black pepper, and sprinkle with cayenne pepper.
  • Bake bacon for 22-25 minutes or until dark and crisp (bacon won't be firm yet). Remove from oven, and cool on rack for 5-7 minutes or until sugar has hardened.

Notes

When placing bacon on wire rack, place it the opposite direction of the slits so it doesn't fall through while cooking.
