Chile Bacon Straws
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Servings: 6
6 slices Coleman Natural Hickory Smoked Bacon
6 wooden skewers
1 teaspoon Mexican spice blend
prepared Bloody Marys
Preheat oven to 400 F.
Wrap one bacon slice diagonally around each skewer, making sure to overlap edges of bacon so there are no gaps. Don't wrap too tightly or it will be difficult to remove skewers; try to ensure each end of bacon ends up on same side of skewer.
Place each wrapped skewer on wire rack set over sheet pan with end seams down. Sprinkle spice blend over each skewer.
Bake 25-30 minutes until bacon is brown, crispy and fully cooked to give straws their shape. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
Gently slide skewers out of each straw using twisting motion.
Insert straws into Bloody Marys.
