Notes & Wine Advice

Smoked Bacon
Read labels to find out if the bacon you’re buying is smoked or
not. All bacon is cured and some is dried, but not all is smoked.
Bacon is smoked over hickory or apple wood, or smoke
flavoring is added to the curing mixture. It brings a smoky flavor
to any recipe.

on the amount of chili powder and pepper. You could also used
plain diced tomatoes, not those with added green chiles. Serve
some crushed red pepper flakes or ground red chili powder on
the side for those who want to make their dinner spicier.

Cube Steak

Cube steaks are usually made of round steak, cut about ½-inch
thick and run through a machine which pierces the steak with
lots of needles. This helps break the fibers of the meat, resulting
in a tender finish. You can also make cube steaks by cutting
your own steaks and pounding them with a meat mallet. Or cook
them in the slow cooker.
