Black Pepper-Brown Sugar Bacon

February 15, 2012 by Simran S. & Stacie D.

There is not much in this world as good as bacon. This recipe in particular, is a winner. Unfortunately, since my husband doesn’t buy all that advertising about pork being the “other white meat”, we don’t make it often enough. Fortunately, though, my daughter has jumped on the bacon bandwagon (she’s a good girl). I made this for a potluck a while back and I seize every opportunity to have this be my contribution to a brunch.

You must line the pan with foil, if you want to save yourself the trouble of scrubbing afterwards. Since the bacon cooks in the oven, there is hardly any splattering of bacon fat (which I don’t mind at all being splattered with). This is one of those minimal, no fuss, delicious things that kind of cooks itself and makes you look like a rock-star chef.

I haven’t tried it yet but I have a feeling that super-crispy, crumbled black pepper-brown sugar bacon might work wonders with some creamy vanilla ice-cream…..for your next Sundae Party perhaps?

Black Pepper – Brown Sugar Bacon

Ingredients

1 pound thick-cut bacon
1 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
1/3 – 1/2 cup light brown sugar

Method

Sounds super yum and would be great crumbled over a salad with gorgonzola! Thanks for the recipe!

That bacon looks so yum! So hard to find streaky bacon down under though, but when I do, I’ll definitely try this!

Oh I agree – bacon is ridiculously wonderful. Your method of preparation for it does it some real justice.

I’d love to make this – so easy and looks amazing! I think we can eat it by itself but I think this is really versatile for other dishes, too! YUM!
