Really great! YUM!!! I used more sausage....next time I would cut down on the bacon, it was a little salty for me. However, I never use salt...so salty to me is probably normal for someone else. To make it lower in fat I used Evaporated Skim Milk and it was still rich and delicious! A definite regular for me! OH....and I served it over Tortellini. Thanks for a great recipe!

This recipe was great! My daughter is severely allergic to milk, so we used soy milk and no cheese, but this was still great. I made minor adjustments (more sausage, less bacon, a little less garlic), and it was still outstanding! Easy to make. Next time, I'll double the recipe and freeze some for later.
