Have you ever wondered "is there anyway to make bacon worse for your health?" Yes, Yes you can, and it tastes AWESOME.
10 Slices of Bacon (we use a thicker cut bacon but it works just as well with regular cut bacon)
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
2 tsp Dried Chili Flakes (we use 1 Tbsp, because we like it a big spicier, if you like it milder use 1 tsp)
Oven at 400 F. Baking the bacon in the oven is the best way to make bacon, no splattering grease. For this recipe it's the only way to cook the bacon, if you fry it in a pan all of the coating will come off.
Place bacon on a baking sheet, we use a wire rack on a baking sheet lined with foil, it makes clean up so much easier. If you don't have a wire rack just bake it on the sheet.
Lay out your slices of bacon, crumble your brown sugar on top of them, and sprinkle the dried chili flakes.
Bake for around 25 minutes.
But really Give it a try! It's Amazing!

Mmm...I like the sounds of brown sugar crumbled OVER the bacon. Sounds like a perfect way to cap off the week ;)
ReplyDeleteMy mouth is watering just thinking about it! Yummy!

ReplyDeleteMy brother in law and cousin recently made this on a "man trip" to the cabin, and added cheese in the middle. Quite possibly blocks all of your arteries before you actually finish ;)
Happy Friday!
Yum! I am actually not the hugest fan of bacon...is that possible? But the recipe you described sounds a lot like this AMAZING bacon we had for brunch after our wedding. I have been trying to re-create it for years, and I think I will have to give your recipe a try!
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy. I love bacon. My Mom always made mine extra crispy 'cause she loved to hear me crunch on it. Now I cook it like that for my kiddos and they love it that way too. By the way love the tablescape.
ReplyDeleteI am laughing! Love this post. I always bake my bacon - the best.
ReplyDeleteOkay now I know what I am eating all weekend and then working off all weekend. Thanks, Ashli! :-)
ReplyDeleteYum! Sounds delish!!
ReplyDeleteOh my! That looks amazing...

This sounds great, but the recipe says 1/2 brown sugar. Is it 1/2 cup? I'm making this tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteYes!! So sorry, I forgot to write Cup!
DeleteYes it's 1/2 a cup of Brown Sugar on top!
Lots of Love

Yum!!! Ok, but does it realllly not splatter inside the oven? I've been too nervous to try it. I make my hub cook it outside on the side burner to avoid the mess.
ReplyDeleteIt really doesn't, especially if you use a rack on top of a cookie sheet. Because the fat drips off the bacon it's not frying in it and splattering. Even if you don't use a rack above a sheet, and just cook it on the sheet it doesn't really splatter at all.
DeleteHope that helps!
