I saw a recipe on Zestuous for Brown Sugar-Chili Bacon and I knew that I had to make it. She warned that if you already have an addiction to bacon she can't be held responsible if this recipe feeds your addiction and leaves you craving it morning, noon and night and I am going to second her on that. This recipe was off-the-charts crazy good and surprisingly the person who couldn’t keep their fingers off of it was Maisie.
The recipe was so very easy, only three ingredients.
- thick sliced bacon
- brown sugar
- dark chili powder
That’s it!
Spicy Brown Sugar Bacon (recipe from here)
1 pound thick sliced bacon, slices cut in half1 cup brown sugar
2 TBS dark chili powder
Preheat oven to 400F. Mix the brown sugar and chili powder together in a large bowl. Add the bacon and toss to mix. Lay the bacon on a foil lined baking sheet and then bake for about 25 minutes. Once the bacon looks like all the fat has been rendered out and it’s one hot bubbly mess remove from the oven. Working quickly and in batches, drain the excess fat from the bacon on paper towels. Quickly remove the bacon from the paper towels before it starts to stick. As the bacon cools completely it will become crispy hard like candy.
Other than just eating this like candy, what do you do with it? On Zestous she suggests to use it on a BLT, a grilled bacon cheese sandwich or crumble it up and toss it on a salad. What did I do with the bacon that Maisie didn’t inhale? That is coming in a future post so you’ll just have to come back and visit again.
Enjoy!
Okay, I might be brave and try this. LOL!

I made Hasselback potatoes for 14 guests on Boxing Day and received so many compliments. My daughter-in-law asked for the recipe and made them for her New Years Eve party and was complimented in her turn. So many people have now asked for the recipe so your fame is now spreading fast through our neck of the woods in the UK. (I think I may have mentioned before we live not so very far from Watford). Thank you for all the wonderful recipes please keep them coming.
