My family totally agrees that bacon makes everything better. However, I have never heard of carrots with bacon. That is a new one : )
@flora, The bacon gave it a slight smoky flavor that we really enjoyed.
I new i would love your blog the first time i visited, especially after finding out your love for “country woman n taste of home” recipes like me.

@jocelyn, Thank you! I am so glad you found my site. I hope you enjoy the recipes.
looks yummy… what do you do with the leftover bacon? that’s what my husband would want to know… 🙂
@sarah k. @ the pajama chef, Well, I thought the texture was a bit odd on it. I was mainly using it for the flavor. However, my husband ate it and thought it was fine. My husband did not think I should waste the bacon. 🙂
@Lynn, that’s what my husband would say too!
Perfect recipe to take as a side dish for our Christmas dinner, can’t wait to make this.
Definitely making this on Christmas day. Thanks, Lynn! 🙂
