Excellent recipe! I was out of paprika and substituted a teaspoon of pork rub. Yummy!!!

Wonderful recipe! Have made it several times and it is great each time. Have used prociutto in place of the bacon and added more oil or butter to the pan to brown the meat if needed. Normally I serve over buttered noodles. You can't go wrong with this dish and it is just so easy to make! Would be great for entertaining too!

The flavor of this was outstanding, but the sauce was too thin. If I cook this again, I think I'll try simmering it on the stove top, rather than baking it, to reduce the broth and add the sour cream at the very end.
