Very good. I prepared it without the bacon. - 4/9/10

Too spicy for my taste, but otherwise really yummy. Even my anti-veggie husband thought they were pretty good. Next time I'm cutting down on the garlic and pepper. - 1/25/11

So delicious! Instead of cooking the bacon i just tossed in some pre-crumbled bacon with the onion. Yum!!! My bf loved it and he doesn't do veggies! - 12/20/10

I prepared this with pork bacon instead of turkey bacon. I liked the slight sweet taste to offset the heat. The next time I prepare this meal, I will lighten up on the pepper - 9/14/08

I cooked this without the sugar and with two pieces of bacon. It was very good and I will make it again. - 5/4/08

This was great. I cut back to about 1/4 teaspoon of the red pepper and I used the sugar and I loved it. The sweet and spicy was delicious. I didn't have any bacon but I will use it next time. - 4/16/14

Really tasty--had this with brown rice for dinner and I was very happy! The touch of brown sugar really makes the difference, so I say don't skip that! Thanks for the recipe! - 3/18/13
