Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 5 slices bacon, thick or regular sliced
• ¼ cup packed brown sugar, light or brown

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, then line a sheet pan with parchment paper (optional) to prevent sticking and make for easier clean-up. Arrange the bacon slices in a row, being sure to leave a little bit of space between them. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over each slice, then use your fingers to press it down into each piece.
2. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes - keeping an eye on it - until it's deep brown, caramelized and crisp.
3. *Very Important* Remove the bacon from the pan as soon as they come out of the oven so that they don't stick to the pan or paper. Allow to cool on a rack or a plate, and indulge!

Notes

• This recipe can be doubled, tripled, whatever, without adjustment. Just be sure not to overcrowd the bacon on the pan, and work in batches.
