4-5slicesbacon, (cut into thin pieces before cooking)
8-10mushrooms, sliced thin

3Tablespoonsbacon grease(approx. from cooked bacon)
1headSwiss chard(I used red chard), chopped and divided (stems separated from leaves)
Stack bacon pieces on top of each other. Using a sharp knife, slice into thin strips. Place bacon pieces (sliced) into a large skillet. Cook on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until bacon pieces begin to brown (3-4 minutes). Leave all bacon grease in the skillet.
Add chard stems, sliced mushrooms and chopped red onion. Continue to cook until chard stems become slightly tender (3-4 mins).
Add chopped chard leaves, and stir to combine. Continue to cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until leaves have wilted and are cooked through (2-3 minutes).
Add minced garlic and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute, being careful to not burn the garlic.
Add salt and pepper to taste, then serve while hot.
