Same here. I thought it was going to be a copy/paste of what I had just seen on PlateOnline. Since it wasn't, here it is, for those who are interested. I haven't tried it yet, though. Ugh! On second though, the copy/paste didn't look so good. Have made some formatting changes.

Seriously Jean I have been looking for a recipe for about a year... now hear comes Labs with some recipe we should try. How about that!
Re: Jalapeno Bacon - labradors - 03-10-2009
BTW, I DO plan to try this, but shall have to adjust it to what I have available. Fresh jalapeños are easy. In fact, they are a major export of Honduras. The powders, on the other hand, are NOT available here.
Instead, I shall use chipotle powder (that someone brought me) for the jalapeño powder, and I shall grind up a guajillo chile in place of the ancho powder. Actually, I think that may be even better than what the recipe says!

This is real recipe, from my brother's family-in-law who are Jewish. But they eat bacon and pork products.
His Grandma-in-law used to flour bacon and bake it in the oven at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes.
I bake my bacon, but never floured it. My SIL insists its the best. I'm going to try this in the future, but I'll do the jalapeno for a few slices.

Let's make this simple--put some bacon grease (2TB) in a skillet--slice a jalapeno in half lengthwise, include the seeds--sautee the jalapeno until soft-remove the pepper, set aside. Add 6 slices thicked sliced peppered bacon, sprinkle with cumin powder on one side, and when you turn it sprinkle with ancho chili powder on the other--fry, turning until crisp--slice the jalapeno and serve with the bacon for those who want it--or who wants to "show off".

I am a bacon baker too Barbara! I love it that way. Less mess too. My husband loves it baked. I have never floured it. I wonder what that does. I am gonna have to try that.
Oh and this Jalapeno Bacon too. I can't wait to try this!
Old Bay, since you are from Texas, I am sure you know your way around peppers. I think I will take your modifications and run with them instead of hunting for jalapeno powder. It may be difficult to find here in the midwest where ANYTHING 'seasoned' is considered 'spicy'.
Re: Jalapeno Bacon - cjs - 03-11-2009
Might try both (no, all three
) ways - but I do like the idea of it 'aging' 24 hours with the coating.Flouring bacon pieces - how interesting. probably give a nice thin crust as you get when flouring other pieces of meat before frying/bakiing.
Trying Bill's method, wouldn't that be some good pan gravy????
