Brown sugar bacon
from Bon Appetite magazine I think
It's impossible to describe the incredible salty, sweet and crunchy thing you end up with and very hard to stop eating them...serve with drinks as finger food, or with breakfast or in a BLT or... .
2 lbs. thick sliced bacon
1/2 cup Dejon mustard
3 cups or so fluffed brown sugar
2 large cookie sheets
aluminium foil
Line cookie sheets with foil. If you don't do this, you will have to throw them out after using.
Preheat oven to 400. Liberally brush both sides of bacon with mustard and then press into sugar, turning to coat well on both sides.
Lay on cookie sheets. Bake both sheets at once, rotating pans after 15 minutes or so, until bacon is browned and edges are beginning to blacken, about 30 minutes total. No need to turn the bacon over during cooking. Remove from oven. Spray another sheet of aluminium foil with non-stick spray, and lay the cooked bacon strips on it to cool completely. They will harden up as they cool off. Be careful, hot sugar burns, use tongs or a fork. Discard foil and your cookie sheet is saved!
