Italian Broccoli With Bacon
"My family loves broccoli, but it seems most of my recipes call for cheese or a heavy sauce. I threw this together last night for a lighter dish that is still full of flavor. If you have fresh broccoli in a microwave safe bag, it makes this dish even quicker! A 12 oz. bag of broccoli microwaves in just 4 minutes."

This was very, very good. I didn't have any mushrooms so I omitted them, but I'll bet it's even better with them. This was so easy to make and I guarantee that I'll be making it over and over again! I'm thinking it might be good with a bit of Parmesan cheese grated over the top. Thanks so much for posting! -
delicious, I would have never though to add Italian dressing to warm broccoli, I also added in a tablespoon of fresh garlic when I sauteed the onion, and also increased the ingredients slightly, thanks for sharing hon we enjoyed this dish!...Kitten:) -
This is just a wonderful and easy recipe to make. My whole family not only enjoyed it, but has asked me to make it again. I used center cut bacon to reduce fat. Yum! Reviewed for ZWT3

This broccoli was a huge hit with the family. We all love Italian dressing and it gave a great flavor to the broccoli. Easy to make. Made for ZWTIII -
This was different and an enjoyable side dish. I served this with recipe #231084. The colors were nice and I liked the onions & mushrooms. I probably could live without the bacon if I was trying to reduce the fat content. I will make this again. Thank you for sharing your recipe! Made for Zingo ZWT 3.

The joy of my life are my 2 sons, born in Dec. 00 and Jan. 04. I am currently a stay at home mom and love to make homemade meals and treats for my family. I live in PA, but the rest of my family are in AL and GA, and my boys and I spend weeks at a time in the South. I enjoy traveling with my husband and 2 sons.
I am an Auburn University Alumni and a HUGE Auburn Tigers fan...WAR EAGLE! From August until November, you know what I'll be doing on Saturdays...watching ANY NCAA game on TV.
I am also a fan of NASCAR. I have only been to 2 tracks, Talladega several times and Dover once, but I hope to visit many more. Pocono is only an hour away, so maybe someday! Atlanta is another real possibility with family close by.
My furbaby Wickett (a pekinese-poodle mix I had for almost 14 years) went to live at the Rainbow Bridge on April 4, 2007. He was literally my first born child! He will always be in my heart. We have a new dog now, Roxie, who is a Shih-tzu. I am an animal lover, and will always have a pet!
