Delightful, unusual flavor! A nice departure from casserole recipes that call for cream soups or cheese. Pretty enough for a dinner party. May use other vegetables as well.
The good old-fashioned country way. This is definitely NOT diet food. You don't drain the bacon fat off after you brown it. If you really have to, you can substitute butter, but it won't be the same. You...
My Great Great Grandmother used to make this when I was young, and it has always been a favorite of my Atlanta and Alabama relatives! I learned how to make it from my Aunt Edith Russell, while visiting...
