HOW TO MAKE SWEET CHIPOTLE BACON CRACKERS:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut the bacon into fourths.
- Layout the crackers on a wire rack over a sheet tray. Place the bacon slices on top, making sure not to touch the other crackers.
- Sprinkle the top of the bacon with brown sugar. Sprinkle with the chipotle, just a dash on each piece.
- Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the bacon is crisp to your liking.
- Let cool on the wire rack for 10 minutes, serve and enjoy!
WHAT KIND OF CRACKERS SHOULD I USE?
We use butter crackers for these, our favorite brand to use is Club Crackers. Any brand of butter crackers will work as long as they are rectangle in shape.
You can also use different flavors of crackers to switch up the flavor of the Bacon Crackers themselves. We have used wheat ones too and they work perfectly.
WHAT KIND OF BACON SHOULD I USE?
You can use any flavor of bacon of your choice but use regular cut bacon and not thick cut. A thick cut will take longer to cooked and we like the ratio of bacon and crackers for this recipe.
CAN I MIX THE BROWN SUGAR AND CHIPOTLE POWDER TOGETHER?
Absolutely, if you don’t want to control how much chipotle pepper goes on each of your crackers, mixing the two together would be a great idea!
This will save you a step as well which can make this recipe even easier than it already is!
HOW TO STORE:
These Bacon Crackers can be stored in an airtight container or ziptop bag in the refrigerator where they will keep for up to 3 days.
These can also be frozen, make according to package directions, and then cool completely. Place in a freezer container or bag and they will keep frozen for up to 1 month.
Let defrost in the refrigerator overnight and then place on a baking sheet and rewarm in the oven for about 10 minutes at 250 degrees F.
TIPS AND TRICKS:
- Make sure you are using rectangle crackers for these.
- We like to use Club brand crackers, but use your favorite brand.
- Regular cut bacon should be used and not thick cut.
- You can use any of your favorite bacon flavor.
- If you want to save a step you can mix together the chipotle powder and brown sugar before sprinkling.
- These can be frozen, see my tips above.
