Bacon
Brown Sugar
2 teaspoons of chili powder, or
1-2 teaspoons of Slap Ya Mama Cajun seasoning
Chopped pecans, optional
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a jelly roll pan with aluminum foil. You really don't want to skip this step - trust me. Place an oven safe rack on top and lightly spray it with some non-stick spray. Get a Ziploc storage bag, place some brown sugar in it. Now Ms. Jill says that you really should use dark brown sugar - but heck, I say use whatever you got.
Now I like to cut my bacon strips in half, just so they fit right on the rack. If you want to spice the bacon up a bit, throw in the chili powder or the Cajun seasoning in with the brown sugar. Toss however much bacon you want into the Ziploc - but remember only so many are gonna fit on the rack so I say do maybe 5 or 6 strips at a time. Close the bag and shake to coat the bacon with the brown sugar real well. Lay the coated bacon strips out on the rack. If using pecans, shake them up in the brown sugar and then sprinkle on top of the bacon. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 to 45 minutes, or longer, depending on your oven and also on how you like your bacon. I like mine real crisp. Let it cool on the rack a bit. Eat. And tell me ... ain't that just purely sinful?
