Notes
*Bacon-you are welcome to cook approximately 8 slices and crumble. I prefer to use the bacon pieces that are sold at most grocery stores. Just make sure to purchase the kind that mentions it is real bacon. I love to buy a large bag at Sams club.
*If you are looking for a little healthier option for your dressing you may consider substituting sour cream for greek yogurt.
