I didn't rate this recipe because the failure of the dish to meet my standards was entirely my fault! Firstly, this dish is outside my comfort zone. Roast beef or prime rib would be similar to my native foods, but bubble and squeak definitely is not. I was also using American products, which are probably different in flavor to the ones you use. My bubble and squeak tasted very heavily of the whole grain mustard I used, and I didn't like it very much. The bottom of my dish never got crispy, although it did brown a little. It was too salty for me. I did salt the boiling potato water as per the recipe, but I didn't add any more.
To be fair, I don't use a lot of salt. I'm now eating servings of it for breakfast, with ketchup. I would probably love your rendition. One good thing came of it for me: I loved the mustard greens ! I hate American Southern mustard greens, which is the only way I have ever had them. The greens are pretty spicy when raw, but completely tamed after cooking. I will grow them in my garden now, as I am comfortable with the cooked greens, Anyway, thank you for this recipe; I will think of you every time I eat mustard greens now.

This really appeals to me! I'm not sure I can get mustard greens locally (time to think about growing them this spring?) so I'll give it a go with chard and beet greens instead. I have a few spuds that are starting to look a bit tired, so this will be perfect. ;o)

YAY I hope you like it!!!! And yes, you should plant some. Around here we always have access, being South adjacent :-)

Yummm! Cooked this last night. Used old potatoes left over from a braised corn beef brisket. Used kale instead of mustard greens since the kale is now starting to come in. Also used a lot more bacon just because. Have been required by family to cook this again.

Good recipe. We had no mustard greens but a pile of dandelion greens. So did those. Also vegetarian, so used tempeh in place of bacon. A bit more olive oil to substitute for the bacon fat and it was very tasty. Next time I think I might throw in a bit of crushed red pepper.

Yum! Had this for supper - added two eggs since we made it the main event, finished it under the broiler - my son asked for it for his birthday! Delicious.

Yay! I am glad you tried and liked it! Adding eggs is ALWAYS a good idea. Always.

Ooooooh wee! This sounds wonderful! Seems like it would also make a tasty meatless main. Congrats on the CP.

Any substitutes for potatoes?

I often use cauliflower as a potato substitute. They hold a lot more water than potatoes though, especially after steaming or boiling, so in this dish I would cut half head of cauliflower into large florets, then let them steam off for a really long time after cooking to get them as dry as possible.

This sounds so good, A! We gave our kiddos Clue for Christmas - it has become a family favorite.

Love the imagination going on in your head, your untraditional tweak and that name :)!!

Clue! Just played it for the first time in years with an 8 year old grandaughter. Flashbacks...
Now about this recipe: The name drew me to it, but I trust you enough to try it. I'm iffy about mustard in both forms but for you, OK.
