Films With A Foodie- Breakfast At Tiffany's - Millionaire Bacon

As I mentioned before, I love pairing foods with events. First it was the World Cup with my Fusion inspired Bratwurst Empanadas, then my periodically posts of Dining with Disney posts (pairing food with Disney films, check out my Princess & the Frog post)  and now I'm adding a new set of pairing post. Films With A Foodie. I love movies of all genres. My net is pretty wide. But my passion is in the classics movies, like All About Eve, Psycho, Adam's Rib, Girl Friday and Meet Me In St. Louis. I want to make fun meals to pair with these wonderful classics. But I'm not going to stop with the classics, I'll branch out and do not so classics as well.The point of this is to have fun. Movies are great and even better when eaten with creative foods that are giving tongue and cheek names. It's all about the experience and fellowship.

The first post of Films With A Foodie is one of Audrey Hepburn most famous characters, Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's. There hasn't been one girl who has seen this film and not wished to have Breakfast At Tiffany's. It's a quirky girl meets boy story, with a few crazy parties here and there. Holly's  a social climber who realizes that status isn't the most important thing in the world.

Holly may not have gotten her Millionaire but that doesn't mean she can't eat like one!

Millionaire Bacon - yields 6 slices

Ingredients:

6 thick cut slices of bacon
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/8-1/4 tsp chili powder
1/4-1/2 tsp black pepper

Note: The measurements of the spices are up to you. I started with 1/8 tsp of chili powder because my husband doesn't like things spicy, so that was perfect for him. But you can go up to 1/4 tsp or even 1/2 tsp depending on your heat tolerance. The pepper was a similar situation, I used 1/4 tsp but you can use up to 1/2 tsp.

Road Map

1.  Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place a rack or broiler pan on top. Lay the bacon on the rack. In a small bowl combine sugar, black pepper and chili powder and combine. Pack the brown sugar onto the bacon. Make sure every piece is covered and packed.

2. Place in the oven and cook to 30-35 minutes depending on desired crispiness.

3. Allow to cool before eating, careful not to burn yourself.

4. Enjoy!

Line a baking pan with foil. Combine all of your spices and sugar together into a bowl and mix thoroughly. If you want your bacon more coated in sweet and spicy flavor, add more ingredients to your liking. Apply liberally to each strip of bacon by taking each strip and hand rubbing them. Bake until crisp for 20- 30 minutes (depending upon your crispy liking). - See more at: http://bacontoday.com/millionaires-bacon-million-dollar-bacon/#sthash.UcUGXLD4.dpufTake a baking sheet cover it with foil.
