Snoop Dogg Billionaire Bacon (Printable)

Extra-thick bacon slices glazed with spiced brown sugar, baked until crisp and caramelized with a hint of heat.

# What You Need:

→ Bacon

01 - 8 slices extra-thick cut bacon

→ Brown Sugar Coating

02 - 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
03 - 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
04 - 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
05 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
02 - Place bacon slices in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring space between each slice.
03 - Combine light brown sugar, cracked black pepper, cayenne pepper, and smoked paprika in a small mixing bowl.
04 - Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over both sides of each bacon slice, pressing lightly to adhere.
05 - Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until bacon is deeply caramelized and crisp.
06 - Remove from oven and allow bacon to cool on the rack for 5 minutes to crisp further.
07 - Serve warm or at room temperature.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It looks fancy enough to impress but takes less time than scrambling eggs.
  • The caramelized sugar coating stays crispy hours later, which means you can make it ahead without stress.
  • One bite converts even the most casual breakfast person into someone planning their next batch.
02 -
  • Don't skip the wire rack—baking directly on foil traps steam and leaves the bottom soggy no matter how long you bake.
  • The sugar coating can burn if your oven runs hot, so start checking at the 25-minute mark and trust your eyes over the clock.
  • If your bacon seems to be cooking unevenly, rotate the pan sooner rather than waiting for the halfway point.
03 -
  • Maple sugar swapped in for brown sugar gives a subtle maple undertone that some people find irresistible.
  • Let the bacon cool completely before stacking or storing so the pieces don't stick together and lose their crispness.
