" Very YUMMY! What a great way to incorporate spinach into our diets. I cooked about 3 slices of bacon (will use a little more next time)in the bottom of a pot until crispy. Drained the grease and then cooked an onion chopped very small and then added the rest of the ingredients. I only had regular spinach at the time so I just removed the larger stems. The tomatoes I used already had garlic added otherwise I would have added a clove with the onion. I crumbled the bacon back into the mixture at the end. I will make this again often!"
