This was a super recipe. I doubled the ingredients, but had to use some Dijon instead of mustard powder. I used ready-cooked bacon for convenience, even though the regular does taste better. This had a great texture and the eggs on top are a nice touch. I served it with some leftover meatloaf parmesan and egg noodles. Roxygirl

This is soooo good! I have the same exact recipe that I got from a local cookbook here in Pennsylvania. I was getting ready to post it, but saw it was already posted by you. I highly recommend this recipe!
