   Spray a skillet really well with cooking spray (or add a little veg oil) and saute chopped turkey bacon* or soy bacon*, onion, bell pepper and garlic. Keep stirring so that it doesn't stick and everything gets cooked on all sides. About 3 to 5 minutes or until onion is tender.

2. 2

   Stir in remaining ingredients, cover and cook 5 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally.

3. 3

   Serve!

   *Note: If you choose to use regular bacon cook it first and then drain and crumble. Pour off any grease from the pan leaving a tiny bit to saute the veggies.
