Title: Million-Dollar Bacon
Categories: Pork, Chilies
Yield: 4 servings
2/3 c Brown sugar; packed
1/2 ts Crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 ts Cayenne pepper
1/2 ts Coarsely ground pepper
1 lb Thick-sliced bacon strips
1/2 c Maple syrup or dark Karo
Set the oven @ 350 F/175 C.
Line a 15x10x1" pan with foil. A different size is
fine, as long as the bacon isn't too crowded together,
which will prevent it from crisping well. A rimmed sheet
is essential, as the bacon will let off some fat.
In a bowl or baking dish, combine the brown sugar,
pepper flakes, cayenne and ground pepper. Mix together
with a fork. It's easiest to use a dish large enough to
dip the full slice of bacon.
One at a time, dip bacon slices in the sugar mixture.
Make sure to get both sides. Place on the prepared pan.
Bake until the bacon is browned and crisp, about 20-25
minutes. If your bacon is on the thinner side, check on
it a bit earlier to make sure it's not browning too
quickly.
Remove the pan from the oven (but don't turn it off).
Drizzle maple syrup over the bacon.
Return the pan to the oven and bake until bacon looks
glossy but dry, about 5 minutes longer.
Transfer the bacon to a cooling rack. Do not use paper
towels as it will stick to the bacon. Serve while still
warm for the tastiest experience. Eggs, waffles,
pancakes and any other favorite breakfast foods taste
delicious with million-dollar bacon. Use leftover bacon
chopped up in an omelet or scattered over a pizza. Next,

For best results, use thick-cut bacon. Thinner cuts of
bacon burn more easily and won't achieve the ideal
chewy, caramelized texture.
If your bacon is on the thinner side, keep an eye on the
baking (Step 4), and take it out if the edges start
getting too dark.
