I wanted something to do with the tamales we pulled out of the freezer, and I remembered we had some canned black beans. But that would be too boring on its own, so I doctored it up...

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...

I will also admit that on these occasions I had not planned far enough ahead to allow myself some time to do research. I just wanted to magically land on the perfect recipe. Never happened. But what did magically happen is I finally started the process early enough to do some research and create my own recipe! And to keep life sane, I cooked it up in a slow cooker.  I think it turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself ;) Wash you squash (hey, it's fun to say!) and cut in half from stem to bottom - you'll want to use a heavy, sharp knife for that. Clean out the seeds and squash strings - you have to scrape pretty good to get them out. Lay a strip of foil in your slow cooker and set the acorn squash halves in. Isn't it cool how you can crumple up the foil to help the squash sit level. Peel, core...
