Side Pork Dressing Patties Oven Style

This is bacon that is not cured. Ask your butcher or market to slice some for you. Do not use Salt Pork.This is a quick meal, especially if you have side pork cooked and frozen. I add whatever vegetables I have on hand.Cooked diced chicken,turkey or pork can be used.
