Wilted Spinach Salad

About the only nice thing I can say about my ex (fortunately)-sister-in-law is that she gave me this recipe. It's easy, it's tasy, and I love it.  If you wanted to make it a meal, just add some grilled chicken or fish. 

INGREDIENTS:
8 C. spinach
1/4 lb bacon
1/2 C chopped scallions
2 T. flour
2 C. thinly sliced mushrooms
2 hard boiled eggs cut into slices
1 C. beef broth
1/3 C. red wine vinegar
1/4 C. crumbled feta (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:
Place spinach, mushrooms, & egg into salad bowl and set aside.  Cook bacon in skillet until crisp.  Place bacon on paper towels to absorb grease.  When bacon has cooled, crumble and add to salad bowl.  (Note: if you have other things to cook, just set aside the skillet, reserving the bacon grease.  Do these last steps just before serving).  In hot bacon grease, add scallions and cook for 2 minutes.  Stir in flour and cook 1 more minute.  Stir in broth & vinegar; boil to reduce and let thicken slightly.  Pour directly over the spinach, serve immediately, add feta to garnish.  Easy-peasy and delish.
