17. PRALINE BACON

1 lb. bacon
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 cup pecans, chopped well.

Heat oven to 350˚F. Lay bacon on sheet pan. Sprinkle with pecans. Combine sugar and chili powder and sprinkle this on top as well. (There will be leftover mixture, you don't have to use it all.) Bake bacon on oven until well darkened, but not burnt. Transfer to a cooling rack lying over brown grocery bag. Let cool. Bacon will harden. (As the fat in the bacon melts, it dissolves the sugar and the sugar carmelizes the smokiness of the chili powder and the pecans to the bacon.)
