    This recipe can be made vegetarian by simply omitting the bacon or replacing it with soy bacon. Additionally, the light mayo may be substituted with vegan sour cream and the cheese with a vegan replacement and the recipe can become vegan!! No one should miss out on this deliciousness!
    I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
    This is a variation
