Crock Pot Garden Stew

Excellent summertime recipe when you crave that garden-fresh taste!!
This recipe started out entirely different, so the measurements are all estimates.

1 bunch (approx 1 lb) Swiss chard (kale would also work great)
1 can white northern beans
2 cans tomatoes, pureed (I used 4 large fresh tomatoes)
Meat optional--original recipe was no meat (I added some mini pepperoni, also great with chicken, ground beef or sausage.)
Onion powder (to taste, approx 1/2 tsp)
Garlic powder (to taste, approx 1 tsp)
Salt to taste

Remove stems from Swiss chard. Chop & rinse. Add all ingredients to crock pot. Stir. Cook on low 3-5 hours, stirring occasionally. Optional cheddar or Parmesan topping when complete.
