    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and Nueskes roasted bacon, cooking until the bacon is crispy.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes

    Stir in the crushed canned tomatoes, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
