Hi
I'm new to this forum and could not resist sharing the way to great pepperd bacon!
Buy your favorite thick sliced bacon and put it on a rimmed baking sheet. Grind fresh black pepper over the slices and bake the bacon until about 50% done. Drain, add some more pepper and store in a zip lock bag in the freezer. When you are ready to use the bacon about 40-60 seconds in the microwave and it's ready!
