Wonderful! I used to make this years ago and thought about it again when I saw your recipe. Always good! The one thing I usually do instead of crumbling bacon once cooked is to cut it before cooking - just seems easier to me somehow and easier to manage cooking all at once. Such a nice blend of flavors. Thank you for sharing!
