One of my favorite recipes for brunch. Sweet, salty and a little bit spicy with maple syrup, brown sugar and cayenne pepper.
Million Dollar Bacon

- 1 large baking sheet with rack
Ingredients
- 1 pound thick cut Applewood Smoked bacon

- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cut each piece of bacon in half. Place bacon half slices on rack of baking tray.
- Place maple syrup in a small bowl. Brush bacon slices with maple syrup.
- Combine the rest of the ingredients in a small bowl, mix well. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly across the top of each half slice of bacon. Pat down with a fork to adhere.
- Bake for 35 minutes and then remove from oven and flip the bacon slices over. Bake for another 25 minutes or until bacon is crispy. (Watch carefully so the bacon does not burn.)
