Recipe Notes
You can use 1 pound of breakfast sausage in place of the bacon. Brown and crumble the breakfast sausage then drain and continue with the recipe as written.
If you like, you can leave out the bacon altogether for a vegetarian version. Or use veggie sausage or bacon in place of the meat!
If you prefer, you can use non-dairy milk or half-and-half. I like Ripple's Half and Half.
