Glazed Carrots With Onions and Bacon

Sometimes, I like easy – a recipe that can be quickly prepared and still taste great – like these glazed carrots with onions and bacon.  There is certainly a time and place for gourmet ingredients and fancy techniques, but that time is not on a busy weeknight.  Especially, a weeknight when you’re trying to throw together a last minute meal, because you realize it’s five o ‘clock and you haven’t so much as thought about supper.  Yep, that would be me.  All I can say is thank goodness for carrots, onions and bacon.

Although this is a two-step process it’s pretty simple to make glazed carrots with onions and bacon.  There are five ingredients in all.  You’ll cook the carrots in enough boiling water to cover in a large saucepan for 15 minutes or until tender.  While the carrots are cooking, cook the bacon, in a skillet, until crisp and then drained on paper towels, reserving 1 tablespoon of drippings in skillet.  Then you’ll saute the onion until it’s tender.

Next, you’ll stir in the brown sugar, pepper, and drained carrots.  Cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes or until carrots are glazed and thoroughly heated.  Place in a serving dish and top with crumbled bacon.

And that’s it.  A delicious side dish of glazed carrots with onions and bacon just waiting to be served up.
