A delicious and hearty fall skillet that stands on its own.

Also delicious served over a small heap of pearl / israeli cous cous!

Recipe Notes

Serves 6-8

  • Total Time: 50 Minutes
    Prep Time: 20 Minutes
    Cook Time: 30 Minutes
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days (the bacon will soften somewhat, but the meal is still yummy).
  • Reheat gently in the microwave with a splash of chicken stock to keep it from drying out.
