Serves 4 to 6
Ingredients:
12 ounces center-cut bacon
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon pepper
- Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and mower-middle positions and heat oven to 350 degrees, Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with aluminum foil. Cut bacon in half crosswise. Arrange bacon on prepared sheets.
- Combine sugar and pepper in bowl. Sprinkle sugar mixture evenly over bacon (do not flip and sprinkle on second side). Use your fingers to spread evenly over each piece.
- Bake until bacon is dark brown and sugar is bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes, switching and rotating sheets halfway through baking (if bacon on 1 sheet finishes cooking sooner, it’s OK to remove this sheet from oven first). transfer bacon to wire rack and let cool for 5 minutes. Serve.
