Servings: 10 slices
Calories: 136kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound bacon slices 10-12 slices
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1-2 teaspoons of black pepper optional
Instructions
- Mix the brown sugar and pepper in a small bowl.
- Place 5-6 strips of bacon on a frying pan or skillet over medium heat. Rub the top side with brown sugar and cook for 2 minutes, or until sugar is melted.
- Flip the bacon, then rub more brown sugar over the backside and cook for 2 more minutes, or until sugar is melted. Continue cooking until crispy, another minute or so, flipping as needed.
- Remove from heat to cool, and repeat the process with the remaining pieces of bacon.
Notes
DO NOT PUT THE BACON ON NAPKINS OR PAPER TOWELS – the sticky sugar will stick to the paper towels and it’s hard to separate. I like to let my bacon cool on a baking sheet lined with brown paper bags.
It will be easier to spread the sugar on the bacon once it is melted, so don’t worry too much about spreading the sugar in crystal/powdered form on the sizzling bacon.
