Preheat oven to 350° and line a baking sheet with foil. Place a cooling rack in the foiled baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray.
In a bowl, combine brown sugar and pepper.
Place strips of bacon on the cooling rack in the foil lined baking sheet.
Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture onto the bacon. Then gently pat it down and evenly spread.
Place in the oven for about 30 minutes or until bacon is fully cooked.
Transfer bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain some of the fat.
Serve warm and enjoy!
