Steps

1

Cut the beets off the greens. Wash the leaves twice to make sure there is no grit. Tear the leaves up in bite sized pieces and cut the stems into bite sized pieces.
2

Over medium heat, saute onions in Bacon grease. Sprinkle with a little salt. Cook until soft, about 3 minutes.
3

Add sliced garlic and stems. Cook, stirring occasionally, until stems are tender, about 6 minutes.
4

Add leaves, toss immediately with tongs. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, adding a tablespoon or so of water if needed. Cook until leaves are wilted, 5-10 minutes.
5

Add Bacon and toss. Serve.

This recipe and method can be used with practically any green. I have used it for kale, collards, and red swiss chard. Delicious every time.
