Φασόλια μαυρομάτικα με σπανάκι

It finally turned cold here in northwest Arkansas, so it was time to make some beans. This is my favorite quick and dirty Φασόλια μαυρομάτικα με σπανάκι, or fasolakia mavromatika me spanaki, which is a Greek blackeyed peas and spinach. The way I make it is I saute half an onion, toss in a diced Roma tomato to cook down, then add 2 cans of blackeyed peas and 1 can of spinach both with their juices, along with some seasoning. Usually it's a vegan dish, but I add a bag of real bacon bits or a couple finely chopped strips of bacon. Makes 3 bowls, and serve with some crusty bread to finish it out. This was my price breakdown from my local discount grocer

$0.89 x 2 – blackeyed peas
$0.79 x 1 – spinach
$1.19 x 1 – bag of bacon
$0.20 x 1 – onion ($0.39 for whole onion)
$0.30 x 1 – Roma tomato
$0.50 x 1 – half-loaf sourdough

$0.00. – random spices (I use garlic powder, sugar, black and crushed red pepper, splash of vinegar or Worcestershire sauce)

$4.76 ($1.59/bowl)

Let me add, I'm the only one that eats it, so no need to cook a big pot from dried beans
