Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 1 pound bacon
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  1. Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. You want to bake your bacon slowly so you don't burn the brown sugar.

  2. Step 2

    Line two baking sheets with aluminum foil. This will make clean up easy. Spraying the foil with non-stick spray will prevent the bacon from sticking.

  3. Step 3

    Lay out your bacon in single strips along your two baking sheets. There is some shrinkage when baking bacon. Be careful not to crowd your slices.

  4. Step 4

    Sprinkle brown sugar over the bacon. Divide the brown sugar evenly between all the strips of bacon. Pat the brown sugar into the bacon strips. Make sure that there is no loose sugar on the foil, as it will burn.

  5. Step 5

    Bake the bacon. This will take any where from 20 to 40 minutes. The timing will depend on how well you like your bacon done. Rotate the baking pans midway through the baking process.

  6. Step 6

    Remove the bacon from the pan. Place on wire racks to drain away collected grease.

Tips & Warnings
  • Try your brown sugar bacon in salads, BLT's or any recipe that calls for bacon. It gives your bacon recipes that little extra.
  • Variations of this recipe are limitless. Add cinnamon to your brown sugar. Substitute cracked pepper for the brown sugar. This is an exceptional way to personalize your bacon.
