- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups shredded hash brown potatoes (such as Simply Potatoes; certified gluten-free if necessary)
- 1/4 cup no-salt-added chicken stock (such as Swanson; certified gluten-free if necessary)
- 5 cups fresh baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan; crumble. Increase heat to medium-high. Add onion, mushrooms, and garlic to drippings in pan; sauté for 6 minutes.
Add potatoes and stock; cook 6 minutes, stirring frequently. Add spinach, basil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook 2 minutes or until spinach wilts.
