Ingredients

Servings
  • 9 lices Bacon $4.34, thick cut
  • ½ cup brown sugar $0.50
  • 2 tsp black pepper $0.15, freshly cracked

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil, then place a wire rack on top to hold the bacon above the surface of the baking sheet. Spray the wire rack with just a little bit of cooking spray.
  2. Lay the strips of bacon across the wire rack so they are close, but not overlapping.
  3. Divide and sprinkle the brown sugar evenly on top of each strip of bacon. Then add the freshly cracked black pepper on top of the bacon strips.
  4. Bake the bacon in the preheated oven, for 25-30 minutes, or until it has reached your desired level of crispiness. I let mine bake for 30 minutes.
  5. After baking let the bacon rest for at least 5 minutes so the melted sugar can harden a bit. Then carefully use tongs to remove the strips of bacon from the wire rack to a separate plate. Serve along with your favorite breakfast sides and enjoy!

Notes

  • *Freshly cracked black pepper is the best option. If using fine ground black pepper, I would start with ½ tsp and add more to taste.
