Snoop Dogg Billionaire Bacon

# The Ingredients You'll Need:

01 - 8 slices extra-thick cut bacon

02 - ½ cup packed light brown sugar

03 - ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper

04 - ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

05 - ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and position a wire rack on top.

02 - Lay the bacon slices in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring space between each piece for even cooking.

03 - Combine the brown sugar, cracked black pepper, cayenne pepper, and smoked paprika in a small bowl.

04 - Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over both sides of each bacon slice, pressing gently to adhere.

05 - Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until the bacon is deeply caramelized and crispy.

06 - Remove from the oven and allow the bacon to cool on the rack for five minutes to crisp further. Serve warm or at room temperature.

01 -

It tastes like indulgence but comes together in under an hour with zero fuss.
The caramelized coating creates this addictive sweet-and-salty contrast that keeps people reaching for more.
It's impressive enough to serve guests but easy enough to make on a random Tuesday morning.

02 -

Don't skip the wire rack—bacon cooked directly on the pan will be greasy on the bottom instead of evenly crispy.
The brown sugar can burn if your oven runs hot, so keep an eye on it after 25 minutes and rotate if needed.
Thick-cut bacon is essential here; thin bacon will turn into brittle shards instead of giving you that textural contrast.

03 -

If your oven tends to burn things easily, tent the bacon loosely with foil for the first 20 minutes, then remove it to let the sugar caramelize properly.
Mix extra spiced sugar in a small bowl to have on hand—some people love sprinkling more on after they pull it from the oven while it's still warm and slightly sticky.
