- In a small bowl, whisk together the ranch seasoning mix and cayenne pepper.
- Alternately sprinkle bacon with the brown sugar and seasoning mix.
- Place sheets into cold oven and set temperature to 400 degrees F.
- Bake for 8 minutes, rotate pans and bake until bacon has reached desired doneness, about an additional 12-17 minutes (or longer for thicker slices).
- Be sure to check at the 10 minute mark to gauge how much longer it may need to be baked as oven temperatures vary. Continue to check every few minutes until desired doneness. watch carefully towards the end because it can go from perfect to burnt very quickly.
