We shop regularly at our local Winn-Dixie store and picked up the ingredients for one of our favorite bacon dishes, the
B.B.C. (Bacon Breakfast Casserole).  Among the reasons we enjoy the B.B.C. dish is not only because its can be customized to taste and preference easily but also because the recipe calls for 1 pound of delicious bacon.

1/4 cup Diced Onion
