Thanks for a great dinner Jules. I added a red chilli and a teaspoon of Italian herbs to the sauce, I'd also add chopped flat-leaf parsley to the crumb mix next time. I used all the tomatoes, but half the bacon for two of us-the crumbs still soaked up all the sauce but it was good.

Very yummy, everyone enjoyed it. I cooked the bacon in the microwave and browned the breadcrumbs under the broiler. I think next time I may double the tomato sauce since we found it to be very dry with the breadcrumbs soaking everything up even tho my can of tomatoes was larger than called for and I added the sauce along with them. Great recipe tho, I'll be making this again. Thanks for posting it.
