We enjoyed this tasty dish. DH particularly liked the bacon and requested that I add more next time. FYI, my 4 slices of bacon yielded a little more than 2T. of bacon grease. I found this a little too dry perhaps because I used half and half in place of cream. I will make again and use cream. Also I needed more than 1/4 cup bread crumbs because I used a rather shallow dish with a large surface area. Maybe a smaller deeper dish woud have helped the dryness?? Anyway, this is good and worth fixing again.

This was a great side dish. I did make some alteration in that made it wonderfully tasty. I added 1/2 cup light sour cream and 1/2 cup 5 chesse shreded itailian cheeses. I added butter in place of the bacan fat and left out the bacon. I also used the cream, but then added 1/4 cup of milk It was a big hit!
