Reviews
excellant. both sweet and mildly spicy. its worth the hour it takes to set up and cook the bacon. lining the pan with foil speeds up clean up time and the wire rack keeps the bacon from setting in its own grease
Loved this recipe. Lined cooking sheet with foil and placed bacon on a cooling rack placed inside the cooking sheet. No need to turn using this method. Baked it about ten minutes longer. Nice flavor.
