Ingredients:
- 1 pound thick-sliced bacon
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (may need to add more later)
Directions:
- Cook bacon. (I usually put bacon slices in a cold oven on an aluminum foil lined cookie sheet; then set the temperature to 400°. Bake for approximately 20 minutes.)
- Put cooked bacon on paper towel to soak up grease.
- Mix brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne pepper & maple syrup in skillet and cook on low to medium low until it is all blended together.
- Dip bacon in mixture with tongs, letting it drip a little before transferring it to a cooling rack with foil under it (to catch any extra drippings).
*** SOMETIMES I COOK THE BACON THE DAY BEFORE I PLAN TO SERVE IT. THEN ALL I HAVE TO DO IS DIP IT IN THE MIXTURE THE NEXT MORNING. ***
