Updated the liquid to low-sodium beef broth, included high-quality smoked bacon, seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic to personal preference. Fantastic recipe that has become a favorite among all who try it.

Mediocre and lacking flavor. Requires salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, onion soup mix, and numerous other seasonings. I spent over 12 hours preparing this dish. However, after incorporating these additional ingredients, I was pleased to share it with guests who enjoyed it immensely.

This dish can be transformed into a delicious vegetarian option by simply switching out salt pork and bacon for olive oil and herbs. Say goodbye to high cholesterol fats and opt for a healthier alternative!
