Pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin. I do love pumpkin. Pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins. Of course there are THESE:

Incredibly Amazingly Delicious Pumpkin Pie Bars

I think there is only one thing that could make pumpkin better than it already is. Say together with me now…

B A C O N.

And this recipe not only involves both pumpkin AND bacon, but it also comes together in, oh, about 10 minutes. Does life get any better than this? I don’t think so. Sweet, salty, cheesy, bacony, pumpkiny wonderfulness. Who loves you, baby?

    Made this for dinner tonight (after agonizing over which pumpkin soup recipe to use) and it was spectacular! My only change was to sautee the shallot with the bacon and use it as part of the topping. Super good, thanks!
