Notes

Can I leave the bacon out?
Well, leaving the bacon out would mean that you would have to use another type of fat to saute the vegetables in. It would also eliminate the savory aspect of the bacon. If you wanted, you could try a switch with Turkey bacon. I have never tried that myself, so I cannot say how well it works.
