Great recipe! My mother cooked this dish when I was growing up and we kids loved it. One thing I would suggest adding into the mix is some onion. One small to medium onion diced to your liking and sauté with melted butter and leftover bacon fat in the pan. Delicious either way! Also, some kosher deli or food markets carries pot cheese and/or farmers cheese. I use Breakstone products cottage cheese which is a good substitute.
