Easy Sugared Bacon

1 lb. bacon slices
1 cup brown sugar

Rub or pat brown sugar into both sides of bacon slices. If you wish, you may cut each bacon slice into 3 pieces to make bite-sized pieces. Hint: I freeze the bacon after I buy it. After it is frozen, I take it out and cut it into bite-size pieces. Frozen bacon is alot easier to cut. Then I let it thaw out in the refrigerator and put the brown sugar on it. Arrange bacon slices in Teflon-coated jellyroll pan and bake at 325 for 25 to 30 minutes, or until crisp. Serve as an appetizer or as an accompaniment for brunch.
 
I used to do candied bacon, very similar, and use it to garnish Guinness ice cream. Surprisingly good though it sounds odd.

I am a firm believer that Bacon makes ANYTHING better:)
 
I do this but partially bake the bacon, and drain that grease. Then sprinkle with brown sugar and finish. THEN cut each slice into about 4 pieces. use thick sliced bacon.
 
I will add, that no matter how you make it, line the pan with foil--even if it is a non-stick pan.
 
It really is more than messy--it is sticky and basically can become caramelized to the pan. In my opinion, if you use a non-stick pan and don't clean it absolutely immediately, it will be hard not to hurt the pan surface. But there is nothing better than this stuff.

I remember this recipe from an old issue of Gourmet Magazine.... probably 10 years ago, at least. This was a big hit until we got old and moved to Germany.;)

I think in the orginal recipe I read, they suggested that you use your oven broiler pan so that the grease drips away from the bacon.
