Notes

  • Fry the bacon EXTRA crispy!  Verging on burnt is best! You can make it in the oven to avoid the mess!
  • Make sure you have everything ready to go before you start to assemble the casserole! 
  • Feel free to use less french fried onions, but I think they make a perfect bite and love to use LOTS! 
  • You'll want a really flavorful whole grain mustard.  If you don't have whole grain, then try Dijon but don't do yellow mustard.
