This is amazing. I'm not a big bacon fan just on its own, but I always have to have a piece when I make this. I agree with other reviewers that baking at a lower temperature is best; I often cook this with the BBQ bacon recipe that was in the same issue; it calls for 350 degrees for about 40 minutes, and that works well for this variation as well.

Delicious!  I made this today to try it out before hosting a baby shower.  It was fabulous and definitely going on the menu!  I also cooked it at a lower temperature and there was no burning.  Cooked beautifully.

Yummy! I cooked at a lower temperature (350) -- the bacon crisped nicely, and the topping didn't burn.
