This recipe is taken from the Slimming World website. When I made it I used fat free natural yoghurt instead which worked fine and I also added 2 handfuls of chopped mushrooms when frying the bacon for a bit of superfree, plus bacon and mushrooms are one of my favourite combinations! One of the best things about this recipe (apart from the taste!) is how quick and easy it is to make and prepare. I had the whole thing cooked in 10 minutes, it was great!!
