BACON-CHEESE APPETIZER PIE

Bacon-Cheese Appetizer Pie image

I first made this for an open house three years ago and everybody liked it. It's easy to make and tastes delicious. Cheesecake is popular in these parts-it's fun to have it for an appetizer instead of dessert for a change. -Joanie Elbourn, Gardner, Massachusetts

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pie didn't turn out very well. The crust was too dry and the filling was too runny.

This pie is a bit rich for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend serving it with a side of salad or fruit.

I'm not a huge fan of bacon, but I loved this pie. The bacon added a nice smoky flavor to the dish.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe and it still turned out great. I used cheddar cheese instead of Swiss and I added some diced green chilies.
