Broccoli Bacon & Rice

 8 oz. bacon, roughly chopped

1/2 onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 1/2 cups cream

1 1/2 tsp. cornstarch

2-3 broccoli heads, chopped

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella

1/3 cup shredded or grated parmesan

Fry bacon in large skillet until crispy.  Transfer to paper plate but reserve bacon grease in pan.  Add onion and garlic and cook until transparent.  Add broccoli and cook about 3 minutes or until just turning vibrant in color.

Pour in cream, reduce heat to low and let simmer for 3-4 minutes while stirring occasionally or until sauce thickens (optional: add cornstarch to 1 Tbsp. water to create a slurry then add to cream to thicken).

Add bacon and cheeses.  Season with salt and pepper, parsley, thyme and/or rosemary.

Serve over rice.
