Billionaire Bacon

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and top it with a baking rack. Spray the rack with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, red pepper flakes and ground black pepper.

Step 3

Use a dinner plate or cutting board to sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over both sides of each bacon strip, pressing to adhere.

Step 4

Arrange the coated bacon slices on the prepared baking pan.

Step 5

Cook until the bacon is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Start checking after 20 minutes to make sure bacon doesn't overcook.

Step 6

Cool on the pan for 10 minutes, and blot excess bacon grease with paper towels. Serve and enjoy! Makes 10 slices.
