1 pound thick sliced bacon, good quality
½ cup maple syrup, Grade B
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Finely ground black pepper
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400 o.
2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with heavy foil. Place a baking rack over the lined sheet tray and arrange the bacon slices across the rack next to each other, not overlapping.
3. In a small bowl, whisk the maple syrup and mustard. Generously spoon over the top of the bacon, and bake 12 to 15 minutes. Turn the bacon over and baste with syrup mixture. Bake an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the bacon has reached desired crispiness.

Bacon cupcakes... sounded interesting when I seen that on tv.
My fav is a bacon burger. All bacon meat, bun, cheese and topped off with bacon on top of cheese. Now that was good... nummy!

My wife recently suprised me with a new way to enjoy
I truly love her and not just for the new bacon recipe either...

You take o package of ekridge breakfast sausage link, wrap with a slice of bacon on each link and cover with brown sugar and bake in a 425 degree oven for 30-45mins, or until bacon is done to your desired level.

Enjoy.

Sorry back on topic........ bacon cupcakes sound delicious too!!!!!
