This was easy for me to do.  I didn't have sour cream, so I decided to be brave and use cottage cheese and it still turned out!!! And the best thing, the kids LOVED it!  And hubby too. =)

I made this for a dinner party with friends over the weekend.  It was so easy and really good.  I'm proud of myself that I didn't screw it up!  It took longer to cook the bacon than I thought it would, so we were a few minutes late to the party.  lol
