Red Chili Candied Bacon

If you like to get hit by the one-two punch of sweet and heat, and if you love bacon, then you need to try this recipe! It is super simple and super delicious! This recipe is as easy as mix the chili powder & brown sugar, dredge the bacon in the mixture, and bake. Almost done baking... Red Chili Candied Bacon Ingredients: Thick cut bacon (about a half a pound) cut in half lengthwise 1/4 c packed brown sugar 2 T Chili Powder Note: This chili powder can definitely get your attention. If you are not a fan of heat, you can use whatever heat of chili powder you like, but a little heat definitely balances out the sweet from the brown sugar. Hardware: Rimmed baking sheet (I use a jelly roll pan, which I should start calling my bacon pan, because I have never in my life made a jelly roll) Cooling rack that fits in baking sheet Foil Tongs Medium metal bowl (large enough for bacon slice) Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line baking sheet with foil and s

Chicken Philly Cheesesteak

 OK, I want to start by saying that I know that saying "chicken" and "cheesesteak" together is a bit confusing, and may even be considered sacrilegious by some. However, last week, I found a recipe by a similar name and decided to "Sue-ify" it. What follows is that recipe. A note about serving size: Chuck and I don't have huge appetites any more. So, while this might give us two meals, it likely will need to be doubled if you are serving people with larger appetites. Chicken Philly Cheesesteak By Susan Scott Serves 4  Ingredients 2 cups cooked, diced (or shredded chicken) 1 large red bell pepper, cut in strips 1 medium onion, sliced in strips 2 cups sliced mushrooms ~ 2 Tbl olive oil ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon black pepper ¼ teaspoon paprika (I used sweet smoked) ¼ teaspoon chili powder (I used chipotle) ¼ teaspoon onion powder ½ teaspoon garlic powder ¼ teaspoon dried thyme ¼ teaspoon dried marjoram ¼ teaspoon dried basil 4 slices of Swiss cheese 4 ro

Cabbage with Hot Bacon Dressing

   My husband and I love cabbage prepared all kinds of ways. Recently, as I was planning our dinner, I decided to buy some bacon, because...well...bacon. After I cooked the bacon then added the onions to the leftover bacon fat, the smell took me back to German potato salad. So, I grabbed my dad's old recipe, and our dinner was transformed. I apologize for the lack of pictures, but just picture chunks of cabbage with diced onion and bacon. Cabbage with Hot Bacon Dressing ~3-4 cups cabbage, chopped in large squares 2 slices thick bacon, diced                      1 cup onion, diced fat from bacon                                          1/4 c vinegar 2 Tbsp water                                             3 Tbsp sugar 3/4 tsp salt                                                   1/8 tsp pepper 1.    Fry bacon in large skillet until just shy of being crispy, remove from fat.   2.    Add onions and cabbage to skillet. Combine well and cook to desired doneness.
