This recipe is great when you have lots of mouths to feed but are looking for something that is very quick and easy to make, and most importantly tastes fantastic.
Recipe is interesting, but what will happen if the bacon is removed? I don't like the taste
This recipe works really well without the bacon Sharon.
Ok. Cool. Thanks. I was thinking about the amount of space left by removing: if it needed a meat substitute.
It's one of those recipes thats good with or without the bacon :)
