- In a bowl combine the brown sugar and chili powder.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar/chili powder mixture over both sides of the bacon. Let the bacon rest 5 minutes.
- Place the bacon, in a single layer, onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Place a sheet of foil over the bacon.
- Place another baking sheet over the foil (yes, it will be sitting on the bacon).
- Place in the oven and cook 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven.
- Carefully remove the bacon from the pan and let sit at least 10 minutes before eating.
