I know, I know, some of you can't tolerate liver but for those of us that love it try this recipe! The liver comes out crisp and has a wonderful flavor with just a hint of lemon. Even kids have been known to like it. Substitute Chicken livers if you wish.

I fixed this for dinner tonight. My DH wasn't wanting to try this; (we both hate liver). I had him help with reading of the recipe for encouragement...lol...We both totally loved it! He even agreed for me to start fixing it once a month... Served garden fresh cucumbers with yogurt/mayo/dill with a pinch of mrs. dash for dressing, crusty bread cut at an angle with smart sense butter with some fresh chopped parsley gracing it. I am going to fix this and give the recipe to my mother. she will be in heaven when she tastes this. I know what little is left over will make most excellent sandwiches...yum! Thank you for sharing!

This is a tasty, easy to make recipe. However in the future I think that I would use less bacon. I had it with a side of mixed brown rice. Thanks Bergy!
