Made this last night for girls' night and it was delicious! Everyone wanted to know how to make the peppered bacon which was the star. Great recipe!

I've made this twice now--once for a baby shower and once for a men's meeting my husband hosted. Both times it was the HIT of the event. The women raved and the men literally stood over the pan eating it. It is sooooo good! The bacon can easily be prepared the day before to cut down on prep time and the whole dish comes together fairly easily. Don't skip over this yummy treat; make it and enjoy!

YUM YUM!! The bacon was incredible. Next time I will use 2 large onions, I only had 1.5. As one reviewer suggested, I will use the left over coating for the bacon on the onions. I did not alter anything except for brand names. Will definitely make this AGAIN!

Made this for a mommy lunch date. Sweet, savory and delicious. The only thing I changed was that I used fresh chopped tomatoes instaed of canned becuase I don't care for the slimy texture of them. It got rave reviews. Definitely a keeper!
