This sounds really, really good! I totally agree, adding tomatoes & bacon to anything makes it a winner for me.


I'll have some feedback for you after dinner. ;-)


Oh Lord, that should be illegal! I can barely wiggle I'm so full of delicious. ;-) I threw in a few mushrooms too that needed cooking. mmmmmmmmm!!
