I love to cook and I have retired and now I have a lot more time to do so. I can basically look at a recipe and tell you if it is something my husband will like. So I don’t try everything. I simply use my judgment. Thanks keep up the good work.

The instructions do not mention what to do with the cooked bacon, do I add them when I put the soup mixture into the potatoes?

  Hi Maggie,
  Thanks for catching that. You fold in the chopped bacon to the creamed mixture. I added it to the directions. 🙂
