"I found this recipe on Pillsbury.com and revised it. Even my picky 9-yr old son liked it fairly well and my husband and I loved it! You can vary the add-ins to your taste or try it different ways. You could use sausage or ham instead of bacon, add mushrooms, etc. You could also top with a white gravy. This would be really good served with a fresh fruit salad!"
