Jill's Variation:  For a healthier dish, Jill cooked the celery and chopped onion in water and beef bouillon rather than bacon grease.

John's Variation:  For a more flavorful dish, John cooked the celery and chopped onion in olive oil (not bacon grease because he used microwave bacon) and beef bouillon.
