This recipe was ok. I had problems with the cheese melting off into the pan along with some of the bacon pieces as did someone else who rated this recipe. To me it just wasn't tasty enough for the clean up. Don't think I will be making this one again.

Cooked these up Sunday.. Turned out very good.. Had a hard time topping with the cheese.. Cheese kept falling off and burning in the pan...

This is a great "munchies" recipe to serve at a party. Everybody loved them! They were a nice change and something a bit more filling than chips, etc.

This recipe was quite good. May I say, however, that it is so annoying when people rate recipes they have yet to try.

Made this with red potatoes that I "baked" in the microwave instead of cooking in water in the microwave. My husband and I loved them! Will definitely make these again. Very easy too!

I have made this several times and every time they are delicious. My kids aren't crazy about them, but my husband and I eat every one of them. Very easy to make.
