Snoop Dogg Billionaire Bacon (Printable)

Extra-thick bacon slices coated in spiced brown sugar, baked to crispy caramel perfection.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Bacon

01 - 8 slices extra-thick cut bacon

→ Brown Sugar Coating

02 - 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
03 - 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
04 - 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
05 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

# How-To:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
02 - Lay the bacon slices in a single layer on the wire rack, spacing them evenly.
03 - Combine the brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and smoked paprika in a small bowl.
04 - Generously sprinkle the brown sugar mixture over both sides of each bacon slice, pressing lightly to adhere.
05 - Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until bacon is deeply caramelized and crisp.
06 - Remove bacon from oven and let cool on the wire rack for 5 minutes to allow crisping.
07 - Serve warm or at room temperature as desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert and breakfast had a luxurious affair, crispy-edged and sticky-sweet in ways regular bacon could never be.
  • Takes barely 45 minutes total and uses ingredients you probably already have hiding in your pantry.
  • Works equally well as a fancy appetizer, a brunch side, or honestly, just something to eat standing in your kitchen at midnight.
02 -
  • Rotation is real—skip it and you'll end up with one side caramelized and the other pale, a lesson I learned the expensive way.
  • The bacon continues cooking slightly as it cools, so pull it just before it looks perfect rather than waiting until it seems done.
03 -
  • Buy bacon from a butcher if you can and ask for the thickest cut they have—it changes the entire outcome and is worth the effort.
  • Don't skip the cooling period; those final minutes transform it from chewy to genuinely crispy in a way that feels almost magical.
