Ingredients
16 slices (about 1 pound) bacon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground pepper
1/3 cup firmly packed light-brown sugar
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two 10-by-15-inch rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper; place a wire rack on top of each sheet. Arrange bacon in a single layer on the 2 racks. Evenly sprinkle with pepper and sugar.
Bake until bacon is crisp and browned, rotating sheets halfway through, 30 to 35 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels.
