  • cracked black pepper to taste
  • 4 slices Bacon

  • Add some pepper to the bacon and brown sugar, not too much brown sugar on each bundle, approximately 1/4 teaspoon.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, flip and bake an additional 5-8 minutes. For crispiness, broil for 1 minute, but watch this because every broiler is different and may cook faster, you don’t want it to burn!
