Step 2Take 3 slices of bacon and cut in half, you now have 6 small sections of bacon to work with. Put the small bacon sections in the brown sugar bag and coat bacon very well.

Step 3Take the 3 slices of bacon and run them horizontal on the metal cooling racks, then take 3 more slices of sugar coated bacon and weave vertically with the horizontal strips. You are basically building a woven bacon blanket. This may sound complicated but after you complete the first the rest are a breeze. Continue with bacon repeating the same steps until you have 6 bacon weaves. Sprinkle each bacon weave with red pepper flakes before baking. -
Step 4Bake in oven for 30 minutes or until bacon is done. While bacon is baking move on to pimento cheese recipe. Note for time saving: Make bacon weave and pimento cheese the day before and store in refrigerator. Warm bacon in microwave before serving on burgers.
