Peas and bacon

1.2 slice of thick bacon, cut into 1/8 inch squares
1/2 package of frozen peas

The sweetness of the peas pairs nicely with the saltiness of the bacon.

I use the thick slab bacon as it has better flavor and texture. After you open the package, separate bacon into two slice stacks and wrap with plastic wrap and freeze. It will keep indefinitely in the freezer and you can take out whole slices or just cut off some as in this recipe.

Brown bacon pieces in sauce pan until dark and crunchy. Add peas and stir to coat in bacon fat. remove from heat and let peas cook for a couple of minutes.
