Ingredients
    Sweet & Spicy Bacon
  • 1 lb thick-cut bacon (cut in half)
  • 2 jalapenos (deseeded and finely chopped)

    In a large bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon, and mix. Add diced jalapeños and mix.

  2. 2

    Add bacon to bowl, making sure to coat each piece with the mixture and work in the jalapeños by hand. 

    Gloves would be helpful here.
