Bacon-Wrapped Smokies






Ingredients

• 1 pound of Maple-flavored sliced bacon, each strip cut into thirds
• 1 (14 ounce) package beef cocktail wieners
• 3/4 cup brown sugar (or to taste), in a Zip-Lock bag
• Aluminum Foil
• Large Baking Sheet
• Non-Stick Cooking Spray
• Plain Wooden Toothpicks

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. Line the large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
3. Spray the sheet lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
4. Refrigerate 2/3 of the maple-flavored bacon until needed (it is easier to wrap the wieners with cold bacon).
5. Wrap each cocktail wiener with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place on the large baking sheet.
6. Shake each wiener in the bag of brown sugar to coat it before placing it on the tray.
7. You can sprinkle additional brown sugar over each wiener on the tray, as to your taste.
8. Place the baking sheet and wieners in the pre-heated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, until the sugar is bubbly and the bacon crisp.

These are ready to serve immediately -- they're scrumptious when hot! Or, to keep a larger amount warm while serving a crowd, you can use either a chafing dish (ideal) or you can place the wieners in a slow cooker set on the low setting.

Veridian Dynamics. Mistakes. We all make them. But sometimes mistakes lead to great discoveries. Mistakes are how we learn and grow... so we can do amazing things.
When you think about it, shouldn't you be thanking us for making mistakes? Veridian Dynamics. We're sorry. You're welcome.

I've had those. Unfortunately, they taste nothing like bacon.

As a result, I cannot recommend them to anyone or for any purpose.

---

Yeah, I prefer bacon flavoured bacon myself.

But I'm sure they do serve a purpose...for someone...somewhere.

---

One can only hope.

Imitation bacon made out of thick gelatin with too much chemical strawberry flavor added is too ... evil ... a concoction to serve no purpose at all.

Perhaps, if put in a blender along with some vitamins and garbonzo beans, it could serve as a replacement Rikti "Protein Paste" for any hapless Rikti the Vanguard manage to capture.

The Rikti love that stuff, even though it stinks like rotten cat food.

This is what happened to the last Rikti slimeball who offered me some:

At times I am powerfully reminded of DISTRICT 9. If only the crashed Rikti Mothership didn't have that Force Field and Teleportation Tech... and this wasn't a City of Heroes.

Back to Bacon! In the microwave, no less.

Applewood Bacon Wrapped Chilean Seabass over Lentils



Note: This recipe serves four.

Ingredients

• 2 ounces onion, finely chopped
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 ounces celery, finely chopped
• 2 ounces carrot, finely chopped
• 20 ounces French lentils (ideally Puy lentils)
• 4 to taste vegetable broth, to cover
• 4 bouquet garni (recipe follows)
• 28 ounces sea bass fillets
• 12 ounces smoked bacon, preferably Applewood
• 8 sprigs sage, leaves removed
• 4 ounces butter
• 4 ounces thyme
• 4 ounces parsley
• 1 ounce black peppercorns
• 8 bay leaves
• 16 sprigs parsley, leaves removed, cleaned and chopped
• 4 ounces tomato, concasse
• 8 ounces heavy cream, stiffly beaten whipped
• 16 -20 leaves sage, for garnish
• cheesecloth
• butcher's twine

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. In a medium saucepan, sweat the onions in the olive oil, and when they are translucent, add the celery and carrots.
3. Add the lentils and toss with the vegetables.
4. Prepare the bouquet garni: Place the thyme, parsley, black peppercorns, and bay leaves inside the cheesecloth. Secure the herbs and spices within the cheesecloth by tying it into a satchel with the butcher's twine.
5. Add the vegetable broth to cover and the bouquet garni. Bring to a boil and then lower the heat to simmer the lentils until they are soft.
6. Preheat an ovenproof pan large enough to hold the 7-ounce fillets, comfortably.
7. On a cutting board, shingle 4 to 5 slices of bacon. Take each fillet and place it at the corner of the bacon. Place the sage leaves on top of the fillet. Wrap the fillet in the bacon.
8. When the ovenproof pan is hot, place the bacon wrapped fish into the pan, searing the bacon. After 2 minutes, turn the fish over and place the entire pan into the oven to finish cooking, about 10 minutes.
9. When the lentils are soft, drain off extra liquid and remove the bouquet garni.
10. Remove the fish from the oven and plate.
11. Fold the butter, chopped parsley, tomato concasse, and whipped cream into the lentils and spoon on top of the Chilean sea bass. Garnish with the sage leaves. Serve hot.

The Bacon Wave rack can be purchased online, from Amazon.com.

I am pretty sure they will ship to the UK.

However, this PRESTO Microwave Bacon Rack might be even BETTER:
