Equipment

  • large baking sheet
  • spatula
  • garlic press

Ingredients

  • 1 pan with bacon grease and drippings/bits leftover
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 32 oz frozen organic broccoli Fresh is even better, but frozen is more practical for me!
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • After cooking a pan of bacon, save the grease!

  • Pour your bag(s) of frozen, organic broccoli onto your pan of bacon grease. It may already be solidifying; that's ok! It will soften in the oven.
