Lori from thekitchenwhisperer.net has the perfect “leftover” game day snack coming off the Yoder Smokers charcoal grill. “There are certain foods that are just meant for football and gatherings, and this Smoked Cheesy Bread Bowl is one of those recipes! And the best part, it all came from stuff I had in the fridge! Leftover roasted chicken and bacon. And yes, there is such a thing as leftover cooked bacon!”
