Hi can you make this without xanthan gum?
Hi Jayne,
The xanthan gum holds it all together.
Can I just leave out the bacon? I have vegetarians in the house.
Hi Susan, you sure can!
Best thing I’ve eaten in weeks!!
easy to make and delicous
Am I wrong in thinking that the bacon is already cooked and cut up into small pieces?
Hi Alice,
In Australia, our bacon has already been smoked when we purchase it. If your bacon comes cured or raw, I would suggest cooking it first. I hope that helps!
