flag as inappropriate Reviewed on May 6, 2011 by K Bailey This recipe was super good and super easy. There are just a couple of tweaks I'm going to make next time. If you aren't a big black pepper fan I would only do 1/2 of a tsp instead of a full one or try white pepper (milder). I did the full teaspoon and it was almost too much. Also I think it would be really good with some garlic so I might try adding some to the bacon fat or using garlic salt instead of regular salt.
