  • 2 large tomatoes, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  4. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and black pepper.
  5. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over the bacon slices.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized. Watch closely to prevent burning.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can place the bacon on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
