Instructions

Cook the bacon pieces in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered and the bacon is crisp, about 8–10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon, leaving about 1 tablespoon of drippings in the skillet.

Add the diced onion to the skillet with the drippings and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer the onion and garlic to the slow cooker.
