Ingredients
- 2 slices Bacon chopped
- ¼ cup finely diced onion
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 cups frozen green peas
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add raw bacon to a skillet and cook until browned and crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan, reserving the fat.
- Add the onion to the bacon fat and cook 3-4 minutes or until tender. Stir in garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add frozen peas and 2 tablespoons water. Cover and cook over medium heat until peas are tender, about 4-5 minutes. Remove lid and cook until liquid evaporates.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper and garnish with crispy bacon.

Notes
- Using frozen peas keeps the peas crisp while they cook and saves time from having to thaw them!
- If using canned peas, be sure to drain and rinse them before adding them to the sauté pan. Skip the water if using canned peas.
- Save time by using store-bought bacon bits and sautéing the onion in olive oil or butter.
