I mean pulease.....what is that about.....I've been making this slice since..... god knows.....forever I suppose, the date on the magazine page says 1994 I think (can't read it, it has something spilt on it!)
Anyway come summer this dish is always on our dinner or lunch menu....it is jam packed with zucchini and other vegies, it's delicious and everyone likes loves it.
The fact that it is called Vegie slice always makes me kind of apologise when asked what it is.
I can't help it, I always go into story mode and say well the recipe says it's Vegie slice but it does have bacon in it, so technically it's not just vegie's.
It should be called 'Vegetable and Bacon Slice', that would make me happy.
It is one of the simplest dishes to make and really you could add any flavours to it, if you wanted. I always follow the recipe though, then it's consistent and everybody is happy, especially the Tones and girl child (it's one of their fav's).
It's really simple.....
Okay, you've done that, now what I forgot to say was......hahaha, you need a really large bowl. If you are anything like me, first time I ended up using about 3 different sized bowls - getting more and more frustrated....I should have gone straight to biggest one I could find!
It doesn't say that in the recipe though does it!
Then you add all the other ingredients and mix - see simple.
Line a baking dish and fill.
Serve this with salad and it's great for a lunch or dinner with a baked spud, delicious. We always have worchestershire sauce on hand for that added kicker.
And I guess, if want to be true to it's so called 'proper' name - omit the bacon but really the bacon does make it really yummy.
Oh don't forget to add some salt and pepper when you are mixing it, I always do, that's just the way I roll.

| Now it doesn't rise much but do make sure you leave about 2 cm from the top, just in case! |
