December 31, 2018–I couldn’t just serve the ‘health-ish’ Vegetable Beer Bread and Asiago Dip to my friends so when I saw this recipe on the Half Baked Harvest website I knew I had to have it as an addition. I mean it has BACON and Cheese…the perfect addition to any dish!
Although there were specific measurements for each I think this is one of those recipes where everything is ‘to taste’. You want more bacon, and who doesn’t, add more bacon. Want it a little spicer add more cayenne, etc, etc.
- bacon
- Kettle Brand Black Pepper or Sea Salt Potato Chips
- shredded cheddar cheese
- brown sugar
- maple syrup
- cayenne pepper
The entire dish comes together pretty fast. While the oven is preheating at 350 you line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cook your bacon until it is just beginning to crisp. SAVE YOUR BACON GREASE for tamales! Place the potato chips on the prepared baking sheet and then sprinkle them evenly with brown sugar followed by drizzles of maple syrup and then the cheese, bacon, and the cayenne pepper.
Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the bacon is crisp and the cheese is melted. Once done, break the chips into pieces and serve. These are great right out of the oven but can also be enjoyed at room temperature. Keep any leftovers stored in the fridge.
