Ingredients:
- 1 pound thick cut bacon
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup Fireball Whiskey
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- Optional: 1/2 tsp ground red pepper for spice
Instructions:
- Cut the thick cut bacon into thirds and place in a bowl.
- Add the brown sugar, Fireball, cinnamon, and ground red pepper (if using). Toss until evenly coated.
- Place the bacon pieces on a wire baking rack over a lined baking sheet. Place in a 350 degree oven for 30-40 minutes. Cook time will depend on how thick the bacon is cut.
- Carefully transfer to a plate while still warm (to prevent sticking) and let cool. The bacon will harden as it comes to room temp.
