Nothing beats good old-fashioned comfort food, confirms Amber Zurbrugg of Alliance, Ohio. This is wonderful on a cold day. Hot sauce adds a little zip to the black-eyed peas in her quick skillet side dish.
Ingredients:
2 bacon strips, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cups torn fresh spinach
1 cup frozen black-eyed peas, thawed
1/2 cup cooked long grain rice
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
Directions:
1. In a small nonstick skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels; drain, reserving 1 teaspoon drippings.
2. Add spinach to drippings in skillet; cook for 3-4 minutes or until tender. Stir in the peas, rice, Parmesan cheese, salt, hot pepper sauce and bacon. Cook 5 minutes longer or until heated through. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Yield: 2 servings.
