Farmer’s cheese and Bacon with Noodles (Túrós Csusza)

This is a quick-to-fix, delicious Hungarian dish! Egg noodles, túró (this special cheese is hard to find in the USA so Amish friendship cheese is perfect for this recipe), sour cream, and szalonna (Hungarian bacon) combine together in an amazing way. Regular bacon is fine, but the dish definitely goes up a notch or two with Hungarian-style bacon.
This can also be served sweet like a dessert if you choose to sprinkle on sugar instead of bacon but I am all about the savory version.
