Serves me and just a little more, because I’m hungry as hell.
Notes:
All these measurements are extremely approximate, and done in retrospect by someone with no head for measurements.
Mrs. Dash was a random addition - it called for red pepper flakes, so I chose a random spicy seasoning.
Next time, if I had it, I would use a can of stewed tomatoes, including liquid, instead of the solid tomato and sauce. I would add it later, in this case, since the tomatoes would be cooked.
I might also leave more bacon grease and not add the olive oil. I can’t feel my arteries screaming, so it needs more bacon.
Thick cut bacon is love.
Less sugar.
