Sweet Carrots with Bacon

We had this with the Chicken with Sweet Jalapeno Sauce recipe that I just posted.  Since the magazine put them right next to each other, I decided to make them both.  Plus, I love bacon.

Sweet Carrots with Bacon
1 pkg (16 oz) frozen sliced carrots
2 bacon strips
1 green onion, thinly sliced
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper

Cook carrots according to package directions.  Cook bacon in small skillet over medium heat until crisp.  Remove to paper towels with a slotted spoon; drain, reserving 1 tsp drippings.

Saute onion in butter and reserved drippings.  Add brown sugar, salt, and pepper; cook and stir until brown sugar is melted.

Drain carrots and toss with onion mixture.  Crumble bacon; sprinkle over top.

Another yummy recipe.  Could have used a bit more salt, perhaps.  My niece and Nathan wanted no part of these, but that was fine.  The rest of us liked them.  Also, 2 bacon strips didn't seem like enough, because I really like bacon.  So I did 3.  Also, I chopped the bacon before I fried it, because I think cutting raw bacon is easier and cleaner than crumbling cooked bacon.  A keeper for sure.
