I omitted the black pepper because I served it to children but I thought it was absolutely fabulous without it. Everyone loved it! I
Anita Coleman
Added nutmeg to the flour mixture.
Anthony Bell
Really yummy. I added some cinnamon and cloves as well as the pepper. I had to cook it 5 minutes longer.
Robert Wilcox
We didn’t care for this one so much.
Heather Jones
Be careful – I overbaked the first batch and it filled my kitchen with a burnt smell right before my guests arrived for brunch. But the second batch was a perfect new taste and was gone before the “regular” bacon tray!

This recipe as written for me was no good. I should have omitted the flour. I followed the directions to a T and what I got was bacon lightly coated in flour with no sweetness whatsoever. I’m sure this is a good recipe w/o flour because I’ve had bacon with brown sugar wrapped around little smokies and that was awesome.

This recipe is good but I tweaked it just a bit!!! I mixed together 2 C Dark Brown Sugar, 1 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper, 1 1/2 tsp. black pepper and 4 tbls. Dijon Mustard. I slathered the mixture on (each slice) 2 lbs. thick sliced bacon and refrigerated it overnight in a gallon sized zip topped plastic bag. The next morning, while the oven pre-heated to 400 degrees, i laid placed parchment on two large cookie sheets and placed a rack on top. I spread the bacon on the racks and baked for 15 minutes; turned each slice over and baked an additional 10 minutes.

Yummy! 2nd time added 2T chili powder, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, and 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper, only 1/2 tsp of black. Sweet and Spicy!

Fantastic!

This went by quickly. During the holidays, I also do the same thing with leftover ham. Its delicious.

I made Sugar and Spice Bacon for V-day breakfast. I happend to have maple bacon on hand but I think it made it even better. I think this will easily become a family fave.

This bacon gets rave reviews, regardless of where I take it. I did take someone else’s recommendation to bake on the broiler pan – clean-up was a snap and the bacon was even better. While it was still hot from the over, I sprinkled a little extra granulated brown sugar on top – yum!
Christine Hughes
really good not as much sugar as other recipes and still a great sweet taste done one batch as recipe stated, one with no black pepper added cinnamon, and another subbed in red pepper. all were really good.
Abigail Douglas
I have never used flour either, but do put in about a tablespoon of dry mustard. It cuts the sweetness just a bit and adds “interest.”
Tammy Rogers
Pretty good. I think less bacon and more flour would be better. I couldn’t taste the brown sugar which was disappointing, so I add more and through it back in the oven. It’s very crispy.
Jonathan Barton
This was a huge hit for family brunch! Everyone was surprised when they grabbed their first piece and couldn’t help coming back for more.
Adriana Vargas
This is a great way to fix bacon and something a little different than the usual. The sweet sugar and the black pepper went well together and this was a really nice dish. A little plain and bland though in comparison to carmelized bacon twists, but more suited for everyday or a nice weekend brunch. Super easy in the oven to make this. Thanks, I’ll use this recipe again. It was pretty good.
Brian Carpenter
I had something similar to these at a wedding reception. I remember the cook saying the pans were a pain to clean after baking/ broiling them. They are delish and they went very quickly off the table. I tried these at home and clean up is long if you cook a large qnty.
James Kent
Pretty good.
Jonathan Aguilar
The bacon turned out nice and crisp. It was just a little bit sweeter than I would have preferred so next time I’ll use a little less brown sugar. Loved the baking in the oven idea. Thanks!
Patricia Powell
This is heavenly. A family favorite. Just make sure to do a couple of pounds. I have a gas oven so it cooked it perfectly on 350 for about 30 minutes or more. I put the bacon on parchment paper too which works great.
