Doubled the recipe. Used center cut bacon, keeping everything else the same (used 9×13 bakeware). Should have either pre-cook the bacon or cut back on the butter. There was just a pool of melted butter/bacon grease afterwards. Flavor was great, just had to make sure to leave as much grease behind!
Flavor was fine. Poured off about a cup of grease. My wife had 2nds and 3rds. Easy to make, I precooked the bacon and chicken to cut down on the grease but still had an over abundance. Still it was very tasty
