  1. Would love to make this recipe for 4-6 when we have company, but this first time I cut it down by 2/3 for just 2 of us, & although I pretty much followed the recipe, I did use bacon bits instead of frying my own! Absolutely great tasting & a very satisfying treat! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup tag]
