Awesome! so good you don't even need rice! Be sure and cook the bacon in a pan that will make it crisp because the pot I used the first time did not fully brown the bacon. Excellent! I make it all the time!

This is the second time I have made this dish and it is just as good this time as it was before. I added a couple of jalapeno peppers because I had a lot from my garden and they gave it just a little heat. Delicious and easy dish. Thanks Paula
