Not too hot or filling but fairly spicy, pure indulgence for the bacon lover. Lots of flavor and a bit of sweetness. Serve with grilled cheese sandwiches. If you vant to make it more filling add one tin of cooked kidney beans with the spices.

    If it isn't "Bacony" enough add some of the dripping but no more than it just give a glossy sheen to the whole surface, but not too much, that will just make it greasy. Leave to simmer 10 more minutes.
