Directions:

  1. Chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces and fry until crisp in a large saucepan. Once bacon is cooked through, remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside to drain.
  2. Add the onion to the pan and saute until softened and translucent. Add the garlic, saute one minute more, then add the chicken stock and salt.
  3. Bring the stock to a simmer and add the couscous.
  4. Simmer, while stirring frequently, 10 minutes (or until couscous is cooked to your liking). Remove the pan from the heat.
  5. Add the Montery Jack cheese and stir to combine. Once the cheese is melted, add the bacon, stir once more, and serve.
