Bacon-Powered Sweet Potato Veggie Skillet
By mszcookie
Most breakfast proteins—ham, sausage, bacon—are loaded with flavor, but that indulgence comes at a sodium- and saturated fat-filled cost. Have your bacon (and eat it, too) by using a small amount to season an entire pan of plants. Bonus: The fat helps you absorb the fat-soluble vitamins A and K. If you don't have feta, you can try substituting goat cheese. And if you can have the extra calories and fat, adding a fried egg on top isn't a bad idea by any means.
Ingredients
- 3 center-cut bacon slices, diced
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/3 cup diced yellow bell pepper
- 1/3 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1 cup (1/2-in.) cubed sweet potato
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1/4 cup unsalted chicken stock
- 4 ounces fresh spinach
- 1 ounce feta cheese, crumbled (about 1/4 cup)
