Servings: 10
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground mace
20 ounces thick-cut bacon
Heat the oven to 250 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, red pepper flakes and mace. Arrange the bacon in a single layer in the prepared baking sheet. The bacon can touch, but should not overlap. Spread the brown sugar mixture evenly over the bacon, covering all the slices. Bake for 2 hours.
Allow the bacon to rest for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. Store in an airtight container between sheets of kitchen parchment or waxed paper.
