BBQ Chicken Nachos

Continuing with the much loved Mexican theme, here is a recipe for some amazing nacho. Who knew you could do them in the microwave!

Crispy Microwave Bacon

This method of cooking bacon in the microwave doesn’t involve the usual bacon getting stuck to the paper towels. If you like your bacon crispy, try heating the slices up on top of an overturned bowl (microwavable of course!). Apparently the extra fat drips down the sides of the bowl, leaving you with extra crispy bacon.

Microwave Brownies

…and now onto the sweet stuff! Have a go at making these chocolate-y microwave brownies!
