Broccoli

This was our Christmas dinner: 
roasted sirloin, loaded mashed potatoes, homemade cranberry sauce and broccoli.
Here is the recipe for the broccoli.

Ingredients:
1 bunch or head of broccoli
3 pieces of bacon
1 T apple cider vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 t salt
1 t hot pepper sauce
1/4 cup hot water

Directions:
Wash broccoli. Dice bacon and cook in a skillet.
Drain off all of bacon grease except 2 T.
Add broccoli to skillet and stir, cooking for 2 minutes.

In a separate bowl, combine vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper sauce and water.
Pour over broccoli, stir occasionally and continue cooking until broccoli is tender.

*Alternate version - you can use olive oil instead of bacon grease and add toasted pecans at the end.
