• Ready In: 17mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 2 slices bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces

• 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• salt and pepper

directions

1. Place bacon pieces in a four-cup glass measuring cup, cover loosely, and microwave on High until crisp, which will take 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 minutes depending on how strong your microwave is.

4. Cover with vented plastic wrap and microwave on High until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes.

Made this last night for supper with chicken and potatoes. I was out of green onions so used dried minced onion, about 1 1/4 tsp. Lacked a little zip for me but my 15 month old enjoyed them. Trying to think how to spice it up a little?!
