Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
Rounded 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
Rounded 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 lb thick-cut bacon (12 slices)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Stir together brown sugar, cayenne, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Arrange bacon slices in l layer on a large broiler pan and bake in middle of oven (or upper third of oven if baking with eggs) 20 minutes. Turn slices over and sprinkle evenly with spiced sugar. Continue baking until bacon is crisp and brown, 15 to 20 minutes more, then transfer to paper towels to drain.

Tips:

Choose the right bacon: Thicker-cut bacon (at least 1/4 inch thick) works best in the microwave because it cooks more evenly and stays crispy.
Use a microwave-safe plate: Make sure the plate you use is large enough to accommodate the bacon without overlapping. A 12-inch plate is a good option.
Line the plate with paper towels: This will help absorb the grease and make cleanup easier.
Arrange the bacon in a single layer: Do not overlap the bacon strips, as this will prevent them from cooking evenly.
Cook the bacon in short intervals: Start by cooking the bacon for 2 minutes on high power. Then, check the bacon and cook it for additional 30-second intervals until it reaches your desired doneness.
Drain the bacon on paper towels: Once the bacon is cooked, transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess grease.
Enjoy the bacon: Microwave bacon is a quick and easy way to cook bacon for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Serve it with eggs, pancakes, waffles, or your favorite sandwich.

Conclusion:

Microwave bacon is a quick and easy way to cook bacon without having to heat up the oven or stove. It is a great option for busy weeknights or when you are short on time. With the right technique, you can cook bacon in the microwave that is crispy and delicious. So next time you are craving bacon, give the microwave a try.
