      Title: Million-Dollar Bacon
 Categories: Pork, Chilies
      Yield: 4 servings
 
    2/3 c  (packed) brown sugar
    1/2 ts Crushed red pepper flakes
    1/2 ts Cayenne pepper
    1/2 ts Coarsely ground pepper
      1 lb Thick-sliced bacon strips
    1/2 c  Maple syrup or dark Karo
 
  Set the oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.
  
  Line a 15" X 10" X 1" pan with foil. A different size is
  fine, as long as the bacon isn’t too crowded together,
  which will prevent it from crisping well. A rimmed sheet
  is essential, as the bacon will let off some fat.
  
  In a bowl or baking dish, combine the brown sugar,
  pepper flakes, cayenne and ground pepper. Mix together
  with a fork. It’s easiest to use a dish large enough to
  dip the full slice of bacon.
  
  One at a time, dip bacon slices in the sugar mixture.
  Make sure to get both sides. Place on the prepared pan.
  
  Bake until the bacon is browned and crisp, about 20-25
  minutes. If your bacon is on the thinner side, check on
  it a bit earlier to make sure it’s not browning too
  quickly.
  
  Remove the pan from the oven (but don’t turn it off).
  Drizzle maple syrup over the bacon.
  
  Return the pan to the oven and bake until bacon looks
  glossy but dry, about 5 minutes longer.
  
  Transfer the bacon to a cooling rack. Do not use paper
  towels as it will stick to the bacon. Serve while still
  warm for the tastiest experience. Eggs, waffles,
  pancakes and any other favorite breakfast foods taste
  delicious with million-dollar bacon. Use leftover bacon
  chopped up in an omelet or scattered over a pizza. Next,
  try our favorite million-dollar recipes.
  
  For best results, use thick-cut bacon. Thinner cuts of
  bacon burn more easily and won’t achieve the ideal
  chewy, caramelized texture.
  
  If your bacon is on the thinner side, keep an eye on the
  baking (Step 4), and take it out if the edges start
  getting too dark.
