I love recipes that are simple but end up with delicious results. But they are made all the more attractive when they are quick, cheap and include ingredients that most anyone has on-hand. Tonight I found a great one — Bacon Cheese Frittata.

I found the entree on Allrecipes.com, and as I always recommend, I read the reviews. There weren’t many changes offered (which is always a good sign), but I still tweaked it a bit, and it turned out perfectly. I was in a rush tonight to make dinner, and I had this one in the oven from start to finish in 15 minutes. To make it seem less “breakfasty,” I served with steamed broccoli and sliced fresh tomatoes topped with a drizzle of salad dressing. It was a colorful dinner — and cheap! I made the entire dinner for $4! Also, very healthy, in my opinion, and low, low (or even non-existent) on carbs.

Try it next time your stock is low in the fridge and you need a quick dinner.

Ingredients

Directions:

In a bowl, beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Add onion, bell pepper, crumbled bacon and cheese, and stir. Pour into a greased 9 inch pie plate, cake pan or 8X8 square dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
