  1. I love cooking all my bacon for the week this way. Then I put it in the fridge and microwave it when needed or throw it in quiches. Such a low mess way to make bacon perfect.
     
  2. This is delicious and the best bacon I have ever made. I usually just pan fried but wanted to try something that had a lot of flavor this morning and I remembered that I had saved this recipe. It really is great. I used a broiling pan that I sprayed with pan coat so that the fat drippings would drain off the bacon easily. After the ten minutes of cooking I decided to turn the oven on broil and after 2 or 3 minutes my bacon was at the desired level of cripsiness. This wil definitely be something I make often since it isn't time consuming and tastes great. Thank you!
     
  3. So Good! Added allot more Brown Sugar & Black Pepper. Omitted Chili. This Bacon is Exactly like the Polo Grill of Tulsa, Ok. a 5 Star AAA Diamond Diarona Rest. I have been craving it so badly. (I moved) They serve this on sourdough with turkey,mayo, let & tom... Or if your lucky enough to work there you can sneak a piece or 2 occasionally.
     
  4. I'm embarresed to say how long ago I'd saved this recipe with a note to "must try" when going through my books found it again and made it today for my DGS and friend who is visiting. Well, needless to say it is AWESOME and it will not take me long to make again. I did use the brown sugar and the spices were soooo good with just enough sweetness. As an added bonus all the bacon was ready at the same time so no one had to wait. It was so good that my very picky DGS who doesn't like any spices has requested the recipe to take home to his Mom to have her make it this way from now on. Thanks so much for posting.
     
  5. This was great. I just repainted my kitchen and the last thing I wanted was bacon grease flying around (not that I usually love cooking it) This is how I'll be doing it from now on!

  1. Hi subbed chili powder for the chipotle peppers to tone the hotness down a bit for us whimpy ones who don't like too much spice! Delicious with our eggs and homefries for breakfast! Thanks Rita!
     
  2. I made this Christmas morning, using the brown sugar and cayanne pepper instead of chipotle. Also, I did not use the parchment paper since I didn't have any. (I think the results were the same, just more clean up.) Anyway, it was fabulous! My husband said it was the best bacon he ever had.
     
  3. Very tasty and a no-mess way to prepare bacon as well. I used smoked bacon, the maximum amount of black pepper, substituted regular chili powder for the chipotle (nearly impossible for me to get here) and did use the brown sugar. Will certainly be doing this again! thanks for posting.
