Bacon deserves a chef who can make it shine

Jalapeno Poppers of Champions

INGREDIENTS :

18 fresh jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded 1 (8 ounce) package cream  cheese, softened 1 (5.25 ounce) package frozen  vegetarian bacon strips, thawed toothpicks

DIRECTIONS :

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking  sheet with cooking spray. Fill each jalapeno half with cream cheese. Wrap 1 bacon strip  around each jalapeno half and secure with a toothpick. Arrange  wrapped jalapenos on baking sheet. Bake 12 minutes in preheated oven, or until bacon strips are crisp. Serve warm.

Corn with Bacon and Chili Powder

INGREDIENTS :

4 ears  corn, husked and cleaned 4 slices bacon 4 dashes chili powder

DIRECTIONS :

Wash the husked corn. Wrap one slice of bacon around each ear.  It probably won't cover  the entire ear, but be sure it goes from one end to the other.  Sprinkle with chili powder to taste. Wrap the corn and bacon and chili powder in heavy aluminum foil  and place over medium coals, or medium flame on gas grill. Cook approximately 20-25 minutes. Time will depend on the size of the ears of corn, and how fresh they are.

Carne en su Jugo (Meat in its Juices)

4 fresh tomatillos, husks removed 3 serrano chile peppers, seeded  and chopped 1 clove garlic, peeled 3 cups water 6 slices bacon 2 pounds flank steak, cut into 1/2- inch squares 4 teaspoons chicken bouillon  granules 2 (15.5 ounce) cans pinto beans 1/2 onion, chopped 6 tablespoons chopped fresh  cilantro ground black pepper, to taste 1 lime, cut into 6 wedges

Combine the tomatillos, serrano peppers, garlic, and water in a  small saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil, cover, and  simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool. Transfer the contents to a blender and blend until smooth. Set aside. Cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.  Crumble the bacon and set aside.

Stir the chicken bouillon  into the mixture, and reduce heat to medium. Cover the skillet and  simmer until tender, at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour. Meanwhile, heat the pinto beans in a saucepan over medium heat  until warm; reduce heat to low to keep warm until needed. Stir the  bacon and pinto beans into the flank steak mixture; divide the  mixture between 6 bowls. Garnish each with onion, cilantro, black  pepper, and a lime wedge.
