Steps

• 1

  Place bacon in a cold, large sauté pan. Turn the heat to medium and cook, flipping occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the fat has rendered. Remove the bacon from the pan and set aside. Drain all but 2 tablespoons of the rendered bacon fat from the pan.

• 2

  Add the onion and green bell pepper to the pan with the rendered bacon fat. Sauté over medium heat until the onion is translucent and the pepper is tender, 5-10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
