Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the bacon.
2
On a broiler pan rack, lay out the bacon slices evenly. If you don't have a broiler pan, you can use a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil to catch the drippings.
3
Lightly brush the bacon with honey mustard on both sides, ensuring an even coat.
4
In a shallow dish, evenly coat both sides of the bacon strips with brown sugar. You can either press the bacon into the sugar or sprinkle it on for even coverage.
5
Place the bacon in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
6
Carefully turn the bacon over and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the bacon reaches your desired level of crispiness. Keep a close eye to prevent burning, as the sugar can caramelize quickly.
7
Once done, remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Serve warm and enjoy!
