Escarole with Bacon and White Beans

So you have a big head of escarole from your CSA or farmers' market and you're not quite sure what to do with it?  Here's a very tasty side dish that I made last night.  It's simple, healthy and goes well with all sorts of main dishes (we had grilled steaks with it).
