As any of you who have been reading this blog for more than a week or so know, I have a love affair going on with bacon that is on the level of Scarlett and Rhett, or at least the cute guy from Love Actually who is head over heels for Keira Knightley. My love is true and ever-lasting, and I will put bacon in anything from cinnamon rolls to pralines. Some of my friends are a little concerned about me (you know who you are!) but hey, when it comes to bacon, I gotta be me.
I also completely enjoy it in its natural state, cooked up just the right amount of crispy and chewy alongside some sunny-side up eggs, but now that I have tried this spin on regular bacon, I’m going to have a seriously hard time going back. I belong to the cook-bacon-in-the-oven camp…it is SO much easier and more reliable than doing it on the stovetop or the microwave, and a million times less splattery. And this version is an oven version, but with a quick twist that takes bacon to whole new heights of wonderfulness.
So if you are ready to take your bacon to the next level of wonderfulness…go get that cornmeal and brown sugar out of the pantry. You’ll never go back.

a touch of cayenne pepper makes it THAT MUCH BETTER.
I don't have a 'love affair' going with bacon but your version takes away all my aversions. I love the dry, crispy, and presumably sweet take on this.
Sweet, salty, AND a little bit of crunch…what more could a girl want?
I love cornmeal on just about anything! And you know I love bacon almost as much as you….almost! But the brown sugar idea threw me. O_O I'm gonna try it though! Hey! It's bacon after all! LOL
Hoo – cayenne pepper, yes!!! Definitely trying that one. A girl needs as much bacon as she can get with all that turkey going around this week.
Oh my goodness woman, what are you doing to me!
