Sweet and spicy bacon is a great way to liven up any brunch gathering.

Updated February 21, 2013

Ingredients

  • 1/2
    cup packed brown sugar
  • 1
    teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
  • 1/4
    teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
  • 1/2
    lb bacon (8 slices)

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheet with foil. Place wire rack on foil.
  • 2
    In large resealable food-storage plastic bag, add brown sugar and peppers; shake to mix. Separate bacon slices, and place in bag; shake to coat.
  • 3
    Arrange bacon in single layer on rack. Bake 20 minutes.
  • 4
    Turn bacon over; brush with brown sugar mixture. Bake 10 to 15 minutes longer or until golden brown. Remove from rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.

  • Cayenne pepper is a hot, pungent powder made from several of various tropical chiles that originated in French Guiana.
  • The brown sugar mixture will give the bacon a delicious sweet and spicy caramelized flavor. Increase the amount of cayenne pepper for an extra-spicy treat.
