Get three slices of decent quality slab bacon made in the store's butcher department. It's cheaper and better quality. Cut that raw with scissors. Cook on less than medium heat.

Chop a vidalia onion add to the skillet. Add some minced garlic.

Take a potato, rinse, and poke a fork in it a few times. Microwave it. Take it out, and put it briefly in the freezer. When chilled for ten minutes, remove and dice it. Add to the skillet.

That is a cheap nutritious meal that only need salt and pepper.

Take 3 slices of bacon as above. Mash some pintos and black beans. Ad to the skillet with minced garlic and cilantro. Finish with a little mexican cheese. Serve with a suez of basmati rice.
