Ingredients

1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds thick-cut bacon

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil.

In a small mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and black pepper. Mix well.

Place the strips of bacon flat on the baking sheets. Be sure not to overlap or crowd the bacon.

Liberally sprinkle with the brown sugar and pepper mixture, pressing it into the bacon pieces to cover.

Bake one sheet at a time for 16 to 18 minutes, checking often. Allow the bacon to cool on a cooling rack before serving.
