Recipe: Bacon with a Twist



Mike and I love bacon. I have been craving bacon and pancakes for a while, so when Mike had his weekend off, he started to make pancakes and eggs for us. I decided that instead of just doing something simple with the bacon, I would spice it up. Unfortunately for me, I was trying to be smart, while still waking up, and when the bacon was finished cooking in the oven, I just switched to oven off, thinking, "Oh, well, it will keep them warm until he is finished"...um...oops. The bacon was a little crispier than we usually like, and the seasonings baked into the slices a little too well... It was still really tasty, but I think that next time, I will add some other spices and pull them out when the timer goes off.


1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
6 bacon slices

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a small bowl mix sugar, chili powder and black pepper. Set aside.
Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
Arrange bacon onto baking sheet making sure slices do not overlap.
Bake for approximately 8 minutes. CAREFULLY flip bacon slices and sprinkle sugar/pepper mixture onto slices. Return to oven and bake for an additional 8 minutes.
Transfer bacon slices to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely.

Enjoy!
