I guess everyone else had heard about this long ago, but the news reached my mailbox just last week.
Put a half cup of brown sugar in a large ziplock, and add one pound of thick-sliced bacon slice by slice, so the slices don't stick together. Shake it up and let it sit in the fridge for an hour or so, then lay strips on a cooling rack in a foil-lined rimmed baking pan and bake at 400 for about 20 minutes. Let cool at least 10, then defend against all comers. Alternatively, you can replace some of that brown sugar with maple syrup, and even add a glug of Jack Daniels if needed as a preventive for covid, or whatever.

I too recently saw this recipe on FB. Was contemplating how such bacon would go with a BLT.

I've done something similar. I take 1 lb. of brussell sprouts, cut in half, 1/2 - 1 b. bacon, cut into pieces, + brown sugar (vol. to taste), + bake @ 350 for one hr. It's really a good flavor combo. The stovetop works too. The bacon grease keeps from having a brown sugar disaster.
