Rating this recipe is tough because it does have good flavor, but the recipe, as written, has problems. 1st, 2 slices of bacon would definitely not be enough in this pie, so I used 5, which I diced and sauted with 1 medium diced onion. I put both in the bottom of the pie plate with the cup of cheese. Then I made the Bisquick mixture as the recipe stated, but as I tried to pour it into the pie plate, I realized it was about 2 times the amount you actually need for 1 pie. It flowed over my pie plate and made a huge mess and at this point, I almost threw the whole thing out! I did salvage the pie and poured the extra Bisquick mixture down the drain. I cooked the pie on a pizza pan (to keep my oven from getting messy) for about 28 minutes, instead of the 40 minutes the recipe calls for. I know I changed this recipe a lot, but it wouldn't have worked otherwise. I will make it again (with the above mentioned changes) because the flavor is good and it is an expensive weeknight meal.
