Bakin’ With Bacon on July 4th!

Happy Independence Day USA – Welcome to the Land of Baconia – let’s cook up a treat!

 

Now if this doesn’t sound and look good then I don’t know what does……………..YES it has a lot of mushrooms in it and an “ample” amount of bacon but hey – we’re bacon-a-holics right?   Oh heck – just give it a try – it’s incredibly good and if my Dad (who is Mr. Picky) likes it then everyone will.
