RECIPE BACKSTORY
This was a family favorite growing up whenever Mom would make it. We'd have it more often with turkey leftovers than chicken so it usually came around holiday time when the weather was colder.
My mom would easily double or even triple this recipe so we'd have plenty of leftovers but there never was enough bacon to go around. :)
