Ingredients

  3 tablespoons brown sugar
  ½ teaspoon dry mustard
  2 tablespoons vinegar
  ½ pound thick-sliced bacon

Instructions

1. Mix the sugar, mustard and vinegar in a 2-cup measure. Microwave with 700 watts for 30 seconds to dissolve the sugar; stir.

2. Put the bacon strips, four at a time, on a microwave-proof baking rack. (Don't use paper towels; the marinade will stick.) Baste heavily with the sugar mixture. Heat with 700 watts for 3 minutes.

3. Turn the bacon and baste heavily again. Cook with 700 watts for 2 to 3 minutes more, until the bacon is almost dry but not burned and the marinade forms a light crust.

4. Repeat with the remaining bacon.
