This was REALLY good. If we make it again, we will double the bacon - we didn't think there was enough in there, but we are both bacon fiends. I think you could play with this one a little, subbing any cooked lean meat such as ham or sausage - maybe add some cooked onions. BUT this is still great as written! Yum!
