Had to make 2 omissions. I didn't have bacon so I used bacon grease for flavor and no tomatoes. Husband is temporarily on a restricted diet. Tomatoes and their family are a no no. Even with the omissions this was quite tasty. It's also husband approved. Hoping the next time I make it I'll have bacon and can, once again, cook with tomatoes. I used a ham bone but I think a ham hock would be even better.
