We have a great little cookbook for you today, Cooking With Frank’s RedHot Cayenne Pepper Sauce by Rachel Rappaport. This is one of my favorite sauces and we use it all the time in this household. From this cookbook we made Cayenne Pepper Sauce Swirled Bacon Cornbread Muffins.
The cookbook is a full color, hardback book that takes Frank’s RedHot to a new level beyond the usual drizzle on a dish or their famous wings. The cookbook has lots to offer with recipes like Cinnamon Cayenne Buns, Atomic Wings, Spiced Party Mix, Smoky Hot Bacon Mac and Cheese, Zesty Cobb Salad and one that I want to try for Super Bowl game day, Ultimate Hot Baltimore Crab Dip.
These little cornbread muffins are full of flavor from Frank’s and from bacon!! They are great on their own to start off your day with a little kick or would accompany a big bowl of chili brilliantly!! Cornbread muffins are always a huge hit in this household and these lived up to their apparent deliciousness!!
Little bits of bacon are throughout the muffin for you to enjoy in every bite!! This cookbook is the only one exclusively dedicated (not officially sponsored) to recipes featuring Frank’s RedHot Cayenne Pepper Sauce.
