Ingredients

• 1 pound hickory-smoked bacon slices
• 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1. CUT bacon slices in half.

2. COMBINE sugar and pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge bacon in sugar mixture, shaking off excess.

3. TWIST each bacon slice, if desired. Place bacon in a single layer on a lightly greased baking rack in an aluminum foil-lined baking pan.

4. BAKE at 425° for 20 to 25 minutes or until crisp. Allow bacon to cool before serving.

Notes: To die for. Truly.
