- Cut the bacon crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Add to a large saucepan over medium heat and cook until browned and crisp (6-7 minutes). Remove the bacon and set aside. Keep the bacon drippings in the pan.
- To the bacon drippings, add the green onions, thyme, and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are wilted (approximately 2 minutes).
