This is excellent! It provides a great base for carrying other ingredients you might like to add, too. I already had roasted squash on hand, omitted onion and jalapeno, because I didn't have them. I also used 4 oz of heavy cream + 8 oz of skim milk in place of evaporated milk. I ended up adding about 1/8 tsp cayenne, 1/4 tsp white pepper and 1 tsp sea salt to achieve the "kick". In place of grated fresh, I chopped up crystallized ginger. So, I pretty much used a different set of ingredients to achieve something similar, but it's what I had on hand!!!

Really good! I omitted the onion and garlic (intolerant) and accidentally added 6oz of tomato paste instead of sauce. It was still wonderful!

Very very good and easy! I halved the recipe for just my husband and I. I did add in an extra egg, a splash more milk, only 1 tsp of mustard, a generous pinch of salt, and 10 turns of the pepper grinder. I think I'll make it with sausage next time, because the bacon ended up a little tough for us. This recipe is a great canvas for lots of variations!
