This recipe inspired a great dish! I used 4 slices of thick-cut bacon. After frying it, I kept the bacon grease, rather than adding butter and oil. I put the bacon, onion and garlic into a food processor, and then sautéed it in the grease with some mushrooms. Finally, I added the spinach, covered, and cooked it on low for 5 minutes. The result was flavorful and a little musky. My wife and I loved it!

Loved this:):)!! Doubled the ingredients 4 tablespoons of buter, 1/2 cup of olive oil, chopped up fresh garlic instead of minced, 32+ ounces of spinach (not packed down), 10 slices of bacon (I know). This was to feed 4. The spinach shrinks so that's why I tried doubling everything. Hubby, youngest kiddo and I loved it. Older kiddo not so much but she ate it:)!!

This just didnt do it for me. I really thought it would, anything with bacon right? But I just thought it needed something else for my tastes. Balsamic maybe? Maybe cut the butter also - I would just have preferred something lighter so I should have chosen a different recipe, but the bacon grabbed my attention. So as written, this one didnt make the cut for me but glad to see others enjoy it. We all have different taste buds :)

Very good! Simple, easy and delicious! I prepared this differently as some other reviewers did. I fried diced up bacon till almost crisp, drained off some of the grease, then added red onions followed by the garlic. I skipped the part of draining the grease. I omitted the butter and extra olive oil because I wanted the bacon fat to flavor the spinach on its own. I threw in the fresh spinach, stir fried until just about done retaining its green color. I finished with a sprinkle of a little Hawaiian sea salt and fresh ground black pepper. This was perfectly flavored and everyone savored every bite until it was gone! This is also a great way to get everybody to each their vegetables too. . I served this with, “Beef Kabobs with Parmesan Orzo,” also from this website.

I cut the bacon into small pieces to cook it quicky, and then removed them when crisp. Instead of using the olive oil, I just used the bacon grease. Then, I followed the recipe exactly. At the end, just before serving, I added the crisp bacon pieces to keep them crispy. This was a really good recipe and we'll be using it often.

It was perfect. For those of you who found it to greasy if you reread the direction it says to Drain the bacon. It wasn't greasy if you did that

I used coconut oil instead of butter and olive oil and reduced the amount. I also used pre-made bacon. Very tasty!

Too darn greasy!!!!! It might be acceptable if you use only enough bacon fat to coat the pan, and skip the butter and oil.

Very good! I read the reviews first and cut way back on the oil. This is a great basic recipe that can be easily tweaked to suit individual tastes but I agree with others and cut back on the oil OR leave it out entirely and just use the bacon grease.
