I tried this recipe for the first time other night, it was so good! The bacon and onion were a nice and different touch.
I added crumbled corn flakes as a topper though and next time may try all shredded or block and shredded cheese not the canned soup.
Recommend trying, fed three adults and still have almost 1/2 left.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, and the crumbled corn flakes sound like a delicious topping!
