Easy and delicious!, Member Melisgr8

This recipe is a hit with all three of my kids (all picky eaters) as well as my husband. I use half and half instead of milk and occasionally add some celery to the onions and bacon. There is never a drop left. In fact, I have started increasing the recipe because my family complains that there is not enough. Make sure to have some French Bread handy for dipping as well. Yum!
