Bacon seasoning

Posts: 6
Once a month I cook bacon for a men’s breakfast at my church. I am looking for a seasoning. We cook it at high heat in a convection oven. Recently I used 2 parts dark brown sugar, 1 part black pepper, 1 part chipotle pepper. It tended to burn because of the sugar. Any thoughts on alternatives? Thanks.

Use less sugar, lower the heat.Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas

I agree with @Photo Egg. I think your ratios are good, just use less and keep it below 400.LBGE, PSWOO, 36" Blackstone, MasterBuilt smoke box- Playing with fire in Three Rivers, MI

Good ideas. Thank you.

Use turbinado sugar instead of regular brown sugar. It has a higher burn temp.

Might also be able to par cook the bacon, pull it off and season and toss back on. This would reduce the time the seasoning was exposed to the heat.Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas

I cook at a longer time at a lower temp and then season a few minutes before pulling it out of the heat. Turns out great every time.--------------------------------------------------

In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself. -
I may be banned for this comment, but IMO, by far the best method for cooking bacon is the microwave. It really is. 60-90 seconds per slice, depending on your preference for doneness. Since my wife introduced me to this technique, I have never even thought about going back to other methods.
