A friend gave me this recipe to use at a bridal shower brunch, and the sweet chewy bacon strips were a big hit. Lining the pan with foil before baking helps cut down on cleanup. —Jane Paschke, University Park, Florida

Ingredients

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 pound bacon strips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 15x10x1-in. pan with foil.
In a shallow bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Cut bacon strips crosswise in half; dip in sugar mixture to coat. Twist 2 or 3 times, then place in prepared pan. Bake until browned and crisp, 15-20 minutes.
