Brunch Dish: Brown Sugar Roasted Bacon

Easiest recipe ever. Just grab a package of bacon and some brown sugar.

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Open package of bacon.
• Arrange bacon in a single layer on a baking rack set over a baking sheet. (It may seem like overkill, but it helps make cleanup easier to line the baking sheet with foil).
• Sprinkle each slice of bacon liberally with brown sugar.
• Place in oven for 10 to 15 minutes (depending on the thickness of your bacon and how crispy you like it).

And voila! Salty, sweet, perfectly prepared bacon. People will be very impressed with you and your skills. I made this for a brunch potluck on Sunday and it received rave reviews. (Is this special bacon? What did you do to this bacon? Why does it taste so good? )

after

Making bacon in the oven ensures that it bakes evenly, not to mention that you can make more pieces at a time than in a skillet. And baking it on a rack means that excess grease drips onto your baking sheet. Plus, you don't have to worry about burning yourself with grease splatters. Seriously, do you need me to give you more reasons to make your bacon like this, people?

yum!
