This was easy to make tonight and it made my family wonder if we were having breakfast or supper! Ha ha! I really liked the simplicity of this. It did however need more flavour - maybe some garlic or onion sauteed with the bacon? It would be good to toss with a little olive oil as well. Thanks mary for something different and tasty!
