While I’m not a huge sports fan (Yay Sports!), I do enjoy a good Super Bowl party and, obviously, the food that comes with it. And whether you’re hosting or going to party, or planning to watch the game (or a movie) at home, I have a couple of great bacon recipes for this Super Bowl weekend!
Both recipes are quick & easy. The first recipe has only two ingredients and the second has only four. Not only are these a breeze to make, both, are definitely crowd pleasers.
My friend and neighbor, Robin, introduced me to this incredible combination. This is her recipe. (Thanks Robin!)
Bacon Wrapped Dates
Ingredients:
- 1 pkg. bacon
- 1 -12 oz. pkg. dates
Preheat oven to 350-400 degrees.
Spray baking pan lightly or line pan with parchment paper or foil.
Cut each bacon slice in half. Wrap 1 whole date in the half bacon slice and place on baking pan. (No toothpick needed.)
Bake 20-30 minutes. In the last 5-10 minutes, just keep an eye on them and pull them out when the bacon gets crispy.
The bacon paired with the sweet flavor of the date is unbelievable.
You can serve these warm or cooled.
This next bacon delight is a family favorite my sister, Wanda, discovered. This treat never disappoints. (Wanda shared this recipe from Paula Deen. Thanks Wanda!)
Sweet Chicken Bacon Wraps (Paula Deen)
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 – 1 lb. pkg. sliced bacon
- 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp. chili powder
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Cut chicken breasts into 1 inch cubes.
Cut each bacon slice into thirds. Wrap each chicken cube with bacon and secure with a wooden pick inserted on the diagonal where bacon seam overlaps.
Stir together brown sugar and chili powder. Dredge wrapped chicken in mixture.
Coat a rack and broiler pan with non-stick cooking spray. Place chicken on rack in broiler pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until bacon is crisp.
Best served warm, but who am I kidding, I’ll eat ’em cold too.
Enjoy!
Thanks for stopping!
