Cornmeal-and-Brown Sugar-Crusted Bacon

Preheat oven to 400°. Combine first 3 ingredients in a shallow dish. Dredge bacon slices in cornmeal mixture, shaking off excess.

Place half of bacon in a single layer on a lightly greased wire rack in a jelly-roll pan. Repeat procedure with remaining bacon, placing on another lightly greased wire rack in a second jelly-roll pan.

Bake at 400° for 40 to 45 minutes or until browned and crisp. Let stand 5 minutes.
