  1. This sounds delicious. I am going to have to save this to make for my bacon loving husband 🙂
    I think I’ll try making it with turkey bacon and see how that goes.

  4. mmm… bacon. Wish I could eat you every day. We don’t like to microwave things – wouldn’t it work to just add the broth in cold after sauteing the onions and stuff and just bring it to a boil or a simmer in the pot? I’ll try that, because this just sounds too delicious to pass up. Although I can’t eat cream cheese so I’ll have to think of a replacement for that…

    • Kelsey — You can definitely heat the liquid on the stove! You might want to try replacing the cream cheese with ricotta or even mascarpone. Just some suggestions for you. Hope you like it!

  5. Such a great idea, everyone loves blt’s, after all. I love the trick of adding the cream cheese for richness. I learned to do that in a soup recently, and it rocked my world. Thanks for sharing this winning combo with the Hearth and Soul hop.

  7. I love when I can find a 1-pot meal. Makes my life so much easier! This is something I can see our family eating at least once a week (and my husband asking for it every night!)
    I host a link-up party on Saturday’s on my blog, I’d love it if you stopped by!
