Thick as Think

1 saucepan

1 lb thick-cut bacon

1 large plate – covered in paper towels

2 cups red bell peppers – sliced

1 cup hot chili paste

2 Tbsp black pepper

1 large platter

1 package toothpicks

In a saucepan over “High” heat, fry 1 pound of thick-cut bacon. Place the fried bacon onto a paper towel-covered plate and pat out any excess grease from the bacon. Once the bacon is all fried, place 2 cups of sliced red bell peppers in the saucepan and then add 1 cup of hot chili paste to the pan. Saute the ingredients until the peppers are tender. Next, add black pepper to the mixture. Place the bacon evenly on the large platter and then place a tablespoon of the pepper mixture onto each strip of bacon. The mixture will come out of the sides a little and that is OK. Lastly, roll the strips of bacon into pinwheels and secure each wheel with a toothpick. Enjoy!!
