Sweet and Spicy Bacon Crackers

Ingredients

• 1 lb bacon (not thick-cut), each slice cut into 4 pieces
• Club crackers (Sweet Hawaiian), 1 per bacon piece
• Hot BBQ rub (such as Heath Riles)
• Brown sugar
• Red pepper flakes

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350F. Set a wire rack over a foil-lined baking sheet.
• Cut the bacon into quarters. Lay one piece of bacon on each cracker on the rack.
• Season each cracker with the BBQ rub, then a sprinkle of brown sugar, then red pepper flakes (amounts to taste).
• Bake about 25 minutes, until the bacon is cooked through.
• Let cool completely before storing, or they will get soggy.
