Mini Post - Carmalized Onion and Peppered Bacon Flatbread

We have had the best weather here in Wyoming the last couple of days and then it got cold again. Such a bummer but that is the life in Wyoming, you never know what you are going to get. The kids were playing in the sprinklers just yesterday! 

I found this delicious recipe on Pillsbury. I am always looking for quick easy things to make for my kids for when they come home from school and this looks like something they would love with a few changes. My husband and I would love this recipe the way it is. I will probably make it more kid friendly for them.
