    Shredded Carrots with Bacon would be perfect served along side chicken, pork, or even meatloaf! As you can see above it is also incredibly delicious served with fried eggs for breakfast. 🙂

    Notes:

    • Herbs de Provence is my go to herb combination, but you can use whatever herbs that you like.
    • I used standard, uncured bacon in this recipe.
    • You should have approximately 2 tablespoons of bacon fat left in the skillet. If you are using a lean bacon, you may need to add additional oil or butter to the pan.

    This recipe was adapted from my old Betty Crocker's Cookbook. I did not feel the need to boil the carrots first to cook them, that just sounded like a waste of a pan. I also thought they could use a bit more flavor, so the Herbs de Provence jumped into action! Feel free to add cayenne or hot sauce to really spice them up!. 😉

    Enjoy!!
