Christina's Notes
- Cook bacon low and slow: This gives you crispy bacon and rich, flavorful drippings.
- Use a hot pan for beans: Searing them a bit adds great texture.
- Add sweetness or spice: A pinch of sugar or red pepper flakes takes it to the next level.
- Don’t skip seasoning: Even simple ingredients need salt and pepper to shine.
