Spicy-Sweet Bacon

While there’s certainly nothing wrong with traditional bacon, this bacon upgrade is a supremely flavorful way to switch up the Sunday morning staple. Serve the spicy, smoky, slightly sweet bacon alongside eggs, with a Bloody Mary, or crumbled onto dips, salads, or loaded baked potatoes. Because the bacon cooks and crisps in the oven, you don’t have to hover over a skillet or worry about grease splattering. But be warned: the spicy-sweet bacon is slightly addictive. You may wind up making it every time you buy bacon—but if that’s so wrong, we don’t want to be right.
