Sauteed Spinach

I saw this dish made on the Food Network on the show Down Home with The Neelys. This may not be the healthiest dish even though it is spinach because you leave the bacon drippings in the recipe. However, it is delicious! Needless to say, I punted my usual turkey bacon for the real thing for this recipe - thick cut hickory smoked bacon. Gotta make one of these every once in a while. :)

Ingredients:

3 slices bacon, roughly chopped

3 garlic cloves, sliced

2 bunches spinach, well washed and tough stems discarded

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

1. Heat a medium skillet over medium high heat.

2. Add the chopped bacon and cook until almost crisp.

3. Add garlic and cook until fragrant.

4. Add the spinach a little at a time. Toss with tongs until wilted.

5. Add balsamic vinegar.

6. Season with salt and pepper.
