Creamed Swiss Chard With Bacon Recipe

Bacon, garlic, and a little onion add flavor to this dish of swiss chard. Swiss chard has long been one of my favorite vegetables because it's a tasty and nutritious green vegetable and it's so easy to grow. Chard is related to beet greens, and the leaves are mild flavored, similar to spinach. Both the stalks and the leaves are edible. Because of the oxalic acid, swiss chard should be cooked in a non-reactive pan. Stainless steel or an enamel-lined saucepan or dutch oven are good choices.
