My palate loves this, but, my arteries don't ! Basically, it's mashed potatoes with mozzarella cheese baked inside a bacon wrap. You will need a deep, small round casserole dish. I use the Corning small round casserole. I think it's about one quart. Make very smooth mashed potatoes. I usually like to saute my onions in the butter before adding to the mashed potatoes, but, whatever is your favorite. Add about 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and stir in. Now, take about 1 pound of thick sliced bacon and line the casserole dish. Place one end of the bacon strip in the center of the bottom of the casserole dish. Continue doing this all around the casserole dish, slightly overlapping the bacon slices. The slices need to have a good overlap so that none of the mashed potatoes seep out when you bake it. You should have some of the bacon stip hanging over the outside of the casserole dish. Fill with the mashed potatoes. Refrigerate until needed. This will also freeze well, as long as the bacon wasn't pre-frozen. When you are ready, just put it into the oven, about 375 degrees F for about an hour. Longer if you froze it ( no need to defrost ). To serve, invert onto the serving dish and hold your breath. If it collapses, you put too much cheese in. Use less the next time.

How about fondue? You can have a fondue pot of cheese with pieces of bread and some veggies to dip into the cheese. Then you can have a fondue pot of hot broth with veggies, shrimp, chicken, mushrooms to cook in the hot broth. And of course, what about chocolate for dessert? Cut up pound cake, have strawberries, bananas to dip.... yum, I'm getting hungry which is not a good thing.
