Equipment

  • baking sheet

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces Bacon
  • 1 /2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoons dry mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Prep your baking sheet by wrapping in foil if desired. Place baking rack on baking sheet
  • In a mixing bowl blend together brown sugar, dry mustard, cinnamon, nutmeg and cayenne.
  • Twist each slice of bacon and roll in brown sugar mixture. Place on baking rack.
  • Bake for 25 minutes. Check the color of your bacon. Everyone likes bacon cooked to a different level of doneness and every oven cooks a be differently. This is the type of recipe that you want to check after the initial cooking time as you may need to cook it a bit longer.
  • The finished bacon should look browned and crispy. If your bacon needs to cook for a bit longer leave it for another 5 minutes. Check the bacon every 5 minutes until it is looking browned and crispy. You don’t want to over cook it as the brown sugar mixture can begin to burn.

Notes

Twisted Bacon Tip:
You can use regular cut back or thick cut bacon. After making several attempts with thick cut bacon I found that the ends begin to unroll while they are cooking due to how thick they are. In order to keep that from happening I secured the ends with a toothpick (see the picture above). This kept them from unrolling at the ends and allowed the bacon to become evenly crisp.
