If you love dishes with cheese, then Tartiflette, a dish of bacon, potato and cheese is for you! It is hearty and can be served on its own with just a green salad. I served it with a grilled steak, but you could also serve it with your Thanksgiving Turkey or even grilled pork tenderloin. Any combination would make for a truly decadent dinner!
