Brown Sugar Bacon

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place a rack in a cookie sheet with sides. Top with foil; poke holes in the foil to let the bacon drain. Place bacon in a single row on the foil. It's important that the cookie sheet have sides to hold rendered fat.

Sprinkle evenly with the brown sugar and sprinkle with pepper. Bake for 20-26 minutes until bacon is crisp and deep golden brown. Let cool 1 minute, then remove from pan and let cool 3-4 minutes on wire rack. Serves 6-8
