What is back bacon?
It is a Canadian bacon, google “Canadian back bacon” I think you can buy something similar in the U.S if that is where you are..
What grocery stores in Ontario can you find that chicken sausage?
The al fresco I buy in the U.S but Schneider’s I find at walmart in Canada
I have turkey bacon is that good enough, and I also have a speghetti sauce already made up so just put the saugage and bacon and voila,,,,
Sure you can use any bacon you like, it’s up to you 🙂
