Everything is better with bacon, right? RIGHT? And I mean the real bacon – the smoky and greasy kind – not the turkey kind that looks and tastes nothing like bacon. These breakfast treats from Tablespoon will take a little longer because the hash browns are baked first but it is worth the wait. It might be possible to pre-bake the hash browns the night before which would reduce the morning preparation time considerably.
