wow we loved this recipe. We had it with baked halibut and it was so good. We are eating heathy and this felt like a sin. We always eat turkey bacon. We used the center cut bacon for this. There was just as meny calories in the center cut bacon as there is in the turkey bacon. This will become a reg.
