Holy smokes this was soooo good. I made it for the Holy Trinity Challenge for ZWT9. I've said holy twice now and this recipe is well deserving. I am putting this into my best of the best files. The flavors are perfect together. I halved the recipe and it was probably enough for 4 people. I also omitted the bacon, which would have been great but I actually didn't even miss it. Great recipe!
