Bacon-Sauteed Veggies
Easy way I get people [namely my husband] to eat veggies. It's delicious and easy, and works for many different types of vegetables (although the amount of grease you leave in the pan should depend on how "absorbent" a particular veggie is). Try it with Kale, Swiss Chard, Brussel Sprouts, Fresh Spinach, Green Beans, and many more. Can be scaled, just don't overload whatever saute pan you're cooking it in.

Cook your bacon. While this is happening, prepare whatever veggie you're going to include. Make sure you get as much water off them as possible, because putting water in hot grease = super bad news (google search it, seriously dangerous). Once the bacon is cooked, remove it from the pan. Now you need to remove the right amount of bacon grease from the pan, but not all of it. If you are doing lettuces, you can leave more (probably most of it); if you are doing stiffer veggies (like green beans), you don't need much, since they won't absorb a whole lot; veggies with lots of "nooks and crannies' (like sprouts or broccoli) would need more since it will soak up a lot, but I would say less than the lettuces do. Once the vegetable of choice has cooked (wilted for lettuces, softened for most other veggies), crumble the bacon back into the pan and stir. Dish is complete.
