Brown Sugar Baked Bacon

Oooo! Bacon candy!
This recipe is super delicious and sinful.
I first encountered bacon cooked with sugar, yesterday during an amazing all-you-can-eat brunch with the family at the Newcastle Tavern in Maine. All you can eat candied bacon!
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 1/4 pound thick sliced bacon

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Combine brown sugar and mustard in a bowl. Add bacon and toss to coat. Line a baking sheet with non-stick aluminum foil (Reynold's). Roast in oven for 20 minutes. Keep an eye on it after 10 minutes, or if you smell the sugar burning. Use damp paper towels to wipe the burning sugar away. Since the sugar was beginning to burn, I lowered the oven temp to 350ยบ. Keep a close eye on it and mop up bacon grease and sugar puddles every 2-3 minutes. It ended up taking 30 minutes to cook.
