Preparation

Step 1

HEAT oven to 400ºF.

PLACE bacon, separated into strips, on foil-lined rimmed baking pan.

MIX sugar and mustard; spread or brush on bacon. Top with nuts.

BAKE 16 to 18 min. or until bacon is crisp. Cool 1 to 2 min. before removing from pan to serve. (Bacon will be very hot.)

Personal Note: It has been my experience when cooking bacon with a brown sugar coating, it is best to add the mixture halfway through the cooking process rather than at the beginning. When added at the beginning, the topping tends to burn and the bacon is rubbery.
