Instructions

1
Cook the bacon pieces in a large Dutch oven over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered and the bacon is crisp, about 6–8 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.
2
Add the butter to the pot with the bacon fat over medium heat. Once melted, add the onion and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5–6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
