Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set a wire rack over the foil. Use a baking sheet that has sides to catch the grease.
In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, mustard powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper. Press each slice of bacon into the mixture until coated. Twist each strip a few times and place on the prepared baking rack.
Bake until bacon is browned and crisp enough to hold its shape, about 30 minutes.

"Wow. This recipe was fantastic! And I overheard everyone at our brunch commenting on the "amazing bacon." :) The only change was to 1/2 the amount of dry mustard powder; this gave it a hint of must..." See moreard without overpowering the other flavors. We'll definitely be making this for other get-togethers in the future! ----- Update: The leftover rub from this recipe is out-of-this-world on salmon. Just rub onto salmon filets and then grill til done. It's our new favorite way to eat salmon!"

I used a big baggy to mix the spices..." See more in and then threw the bacon in which made it really easy to coat it. Yum! A fun recipe. Thanks!"

"This was such a hit! It was the first thing gone out of well over 40 appetizers at our Twelfth Night Party. I made 3 lbs and it was gobbled up. One guy said "As if bacon weren't good enough!" He m..." See moreet everyone at the door with a piece of bacon and told them to try it. Definitely the hit of the party. The foil is very important and be sure that you make it rise up the sides of the baking sheet. You end up with the burned praline mess in the bottom of your pan, so this makes it so much easier. Thanks so much for such a great recipe."
