Ingredients
- 2 lbs of quality smoked bacon
- 1 cup of brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons red chile flakes
- 1 lb of thin sliced beef (Philly steak meat)
- 1 lb of thin sliced chicken (Philly style chicken meat or thin sliced rotisserie chicken breast)
- 1/2 red onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1/2 white onion, chopped
- 1 can of RO*TEL Original
- 1 cup chopped mushrooms
- 2 cups shredded cheese, blended Dubliner and Swiss
Preparation
This requires you to make the fabulous bacon crust with the added zing of millionaire style. Weave the bacon over the pie pans and when finished coat with the cayenne, ground pepper and brown sugar. Cook in the oven at 325 degrees for 45 minutes, draining the grease roughly every 15 minutes. When done allow to cool and then refrigerate till assembly. In a medium sauce pan over medium high heat, sauté the white onions in 1 teaspoon of olive oil until they caramelize, occasionally adding water. Then add in the mushrooms and RO*TEL and continue to sauté until nearly all of the liquids are gone. Remove from heat and set aside. In the same pan, add the beef and chicken meat together and thoroughly cook. I also like to add some of the drippings from making the bacon crust to help this along. When thoroughly cooked, remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before chopping up into 1/2 inch chunks. Set that aside until ready for final assembly.
Assembly
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Over the bacon crust mix together the meat mixture and the RO*TEL, mushroom and caramelized onion mixture. Then mix in the chopped red onions making sure that everything is will mixed. Prepare the usual egg mix and pour over the mixture in the pans. Top this with the shredded cheeses. Then place in the oven for 40 minutes. Remove and either serve or pack it up for the trip to the rink.
