Kick Up Your Breakfast with Spiced Bacon

Spiced bacon with add flavor and surprise to your breakfast.

Does your family enjoy an occasional bacon and eggs breakfast?  Once in a while, we take the time to have a bacon and eggs breakfast in the Just One Donna house.  We're usually all running in different directions in the morning, so having a sit-down breakfast altogether doesn't happen very often.  When we do have the time, I sometimes like to kick up the flavor and surprise my family with my spiced bacon.

It's very easy to make this bacon.  Cook it in the oven on a foil-lined baking sheet topped with baking racks.  The foil makes for easy cleanup.  It will take about thirty minutes to cook the bacon, so you'll need to plan ahead accordingly.

If you like a little spice in your life, you'll enjoy this bacon on your breakfast table.

Donna's Kicked-Up Spiced Bacon


Makes about 16 slices

Spiced Bacon Ingredients
The Spiced Bacon Ingredients
  • 1 pound bacon, thin sliced
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.  Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.  Top the aluminum foil with baking racks.

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, chili powder, and cumin.  Pour the mixture onto a plate.  Dip each slice of bacon into the mixture coating both sides of the bacon well.  Place the coated bacon on the rack in the baking pan.

Bake your spice bacon on a rack in the oven.

Cook the bacon on the center rack of your oven for about 30 minutes, or until well-browned and crisp.  The time will vary based on the thickness of your bacon, so start checking it after about 25 minutes.

Artisan Bread in Your Bread Machine

Finally. Artisan Bread from Your Bread Machine Yes, Really. If you want to make artisan-style bread using your bread machine, the secret is simple: use the dough cycle, then bake the loaf in a preheated Dutch oven. This method gives you a crisp crust and chewy crumb without any hand kneading. If you use your bread machine regularly, you already know what it does well. It mixes, kneads, and handles the first rise beautifully. It is a dependable helper in the kitchen. What it does not do especially well is produce that deep golden, crackly crust we associate with artisan bread. The good news is you do not need to give up the ease of your bread machine to get that result. You simply need to change how the bread is baked. Today I’m showing you how to use your bread machine’s dough cycle and bake the loaf in a Dutch oven for a crusty, bakery-style result.
