Happy Father's Day! Candied Bacon

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads, Step-Dads, and Granddads out there!  Hope you have a great one!

Now, for all of you who have perhaps fallen a little behind on the Father's Day shopping (or cooking, if you're like me) we have a quick fix.  Most, if not all, of the ingredients you probably already have in your house.

Ingredients:
1 package of your preferred bacon (I like brown sugar)
About 1/4 cup of brown sugar in a bowl
1 tbsp cayenne pepper, optional

Directions:
Preheat your oven to 425.

Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.  If you have cookie racks, place them on top of parchment paper (if not, skip this step and your bacon will just be a little greasier).

Pull out the bacon and rub down each slice with brown sugar, coating thoroughly, and stretch them out on the racks.  When all of the slices are done, sprinkle with cayenne if desired.

Bake for 7 minutes to start, then start checking them every two minutes: the bacon should be crisp like the outside of a Honeybaked Ham.

Once you've pulled them out LET THEM COOL ON THE PAN OR RACK because they will stick together if you set them all on one plate before the sugar has cooled.

Enjoy!
