Brown sugar and bacon in a resealable bag.

And add the brown sugar.
Press the air out and seal the bag.
Rub the sugar all around so that it totally coats the bacon.

A foiled lined baking sheet with a cooling rack on it.

Now take a baking sheet and cover it with foil.
If you have one, place a cooling rack on top of the foil lined baking sheet.
If you don't have one, don't worry about it.
