THE LOVE BACON RECIPE LIBRARY
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)
INGREDIENTS :
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
DIRECTIONS :
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. Place a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat; cook the flank steak in the hot skillet until completely browned. Pour the tomatillo mixture over the beef and bring to a boil. 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.
