One 1-pound piece slab bacon (not pre-sliced)
Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Provided by Momma Cyd

Categories     Breakfast     Snack

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pound thick cut sliced bacon
½ cup brown sugar
1½ teaspoons coarse ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Then place 2 wire racks on the foil. We used baking cooling racks.
  • Arrange the bacon slices on the racks.
  • In a small mixing bowl combine the brown sugar and the pepper. Sprinkle over the bacon.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes, or until crispy.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bacon. Thick-cut bacon is best for this recipe, as it will hold up well to the cooking process and won't dry out.
  • Use a good quality brown sugar. Dark brown sugar will give the bacon a richer flavor than light brown sugar.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the bacon will not cook evenly and will not get crispy.
  • Cook the bacon over medium heat. This will help to prevent the bacon from burning.
  • Flip the bacon halfway through cooking. This will ensure that the bacon is cooked evenly on both sides.
  • Drain the bacon on paper towels before serving. This will help to remove excess grease.

Conclusion:

Peppery Brown Sugar Bacon is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great party appetizer. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a new way to cook bacon, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
