Joey's Million Dollar Bacon

JOEY'S MILLION DOLLAR BACON--I don't even like bacon, but I love this

10 pieces THICK cut bacon

1/4 C brown sugar

1/2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

2 Tbsp maple syrup

Chopped scallions

Preheat oven to 350 F

Combine brown sugar, black pepper and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Cover both sides of bacon in mixture. 

Lay bacon on cookie sheet in single layer. Do not try to add extra bacon to the sheet. It'll create too much grease and burn. Layer scallions on top.

Bake 20 minutes, flip and cook another 15 minutes. Watch bacon closely. Reduce time if bacon is thinner. 

Remove from cookie sheet, drizzle with maple syrup and add freshly chopped scallions.
