Ingredients
- 1.5 pound thick cut bacon
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh coarsely ground black pepper
Instructions
- Heat oven or grill to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place strips of bacon on sheet pan.
- In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and pepper. Sprinkle ½ of mixture on bacon strips. Place baking sheet in oven or on grill and cook for 15 minutes. Turn bacon strips and sprinkle on remaining sugar mixture. Continue to cook for 10 minutes, watching carefully so that bacon does not burn.
- Remove pan from oven or grill. Set aside and allow bacon to cool. Once bacon has become somewhat hard, remove from baking sheet and place on paper towels to drain any extra drippings. Seve immediately. Can be stored in airtight container in refrigerator.
Notes
Storage - I like to store it between paper towels in the fridge. It will keep in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Reheat it in the oven or air fryer for the best texture, but it's also good served at room temperature.
