For a deeper flavor, try using smoked paprika in addition to the bacon. This dish is even better the next day, as the flavors meld together beautifully. Feel free to adjust the amount of brown sugar to your liking, depending on your preference for sweetness. If you don't have bacon fat on hand, you can substitute with butter, but the bacon fat adds a unique smoky flavor that is worth the effort.
