Million Dollar Bacon
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1 pound thick-sliced bacon strips*
1/2 cup maple syrup
Directions
Step 1: Prep your tools
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 15x10x1-in. pan with foil. A different size is fine, as long as the bacon isn’t too crowded together, which will prevent it from crisping well. A rimmed sheet is essential, as the bacon will let off some fat.
Step 2: Combine the dry ingredients
In a bowl or baking dish, combine the brown sugar, pepper flakes, cayenne and ground pepper. Mix together with a fork. It’s easiest to use a dish large enough to dip the full slice of bacon.
Step 3: Dip
One at a time, dip bacon slices in the sugar mixture. Make sure to get both sides. Place on the prepared pan.
Step 4: Bake
Bake until the bacon is browned and crisp, about 20-25 minutes. If your bacon is on the thinner side, check on it a bit earlier to make sure it’s not browning too quickly.
Step 5: Drizzle
Remove the pan from the oven (but don’t turn it off). Drizzle maple syrup over the bacon.
Step 6: Bake again
Return the pan to the oven and bake until bacon looks glossy but dry, about 5 minutes longer.
Step 7: Eat!
Transfer the bacon to a cooling rack. Do not use paper towels as it will stick to the bacon. Serve while still warm for the tastiest experience. Eggs, waffles, pancakes and any other favorite breakfast foods taste delicious with million-dollar bacon. Use leftover bacon chopped up in an omelet or scattered over a pizza.
* For best results, use thick-cut bacon. Thinner cuts of bacon burn more easily and won’t achieve the ideal chewy, caramelized texture. For this recipe, we used Oscar Mayer Naturally Hardwood Smoked Bacon, but any of our top-rated bacon brands will work well.
If your bacon is on the thinner side, keep an eye on the baking (Step 4), and take it out if the edges start getting too dark.
