Name: Sweet-and-Spicy Bacon
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: Makes 6 servings
Ingredients: 1 1/2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar; Rounded 1/4 teaspoon cayenne; Rounded 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; 1 lb thick-cut bacon (about 12 slices)

It's difficult to improve on the rich, smoky flavor of bacon, but we've done it: As this bacon sizzles in the oven, the brown sugar and hint of cayenne create an addictive sweet-hot glaze.

Cooks' note:

If thick-cut bacon is not available, regular packaged bacon can be used but will need to be cooked in batches with slightly shorter cooking times.
