- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the chopped bacon. Cook until crispy, then remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic to the bacon drippings. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
