  You will eliminate the eggs and butter from the above recipe.

  - This is a tasty bacon alternative. I have started adding this to dishes and salads that call for bacon. I often add a bit more smoked paprika for a stronger smokey flavor. One of my favorite breakfast recipes. You can have fun and change it up a bit each time

The longer you allow it to simmer, the more the flavors will bind.

Add more salt and other spices (if desired) to taste
