I was going to post this after having used shelby's recipe - with the addition of the white wine and increased garlic just like you already did! I kept the bacon at 6 slices though. Totally agree with the smoked paprika & peppers added. Oh thank you Randy for sparing me & changing the recipe just as I have! Will be stashing for making again & again, especially when the weather cools down.
