I love cooking collard greens. This dish is super simple and super yummy. First, cut the leaf of the green from the stem. Cut leaves into pieces. Set pile of leaves to side. When finished take slab bacon. Slice into pieces. You're going to saute the bacon first. Let it get as crispy as you desire. Leave grease and all in pot.
Add two cups of water and start piling in the greens. If you're using a small pot (like me), cover the pot with a lid and let the greens wilt down a bit. Keep stuffing greens in until you get them all. Add 2 more cups of water. Cover and let cook on low heat for about 2 hours. I also added one capful of Liquid Smoke and 1 tbsp of garlic.
The result: salty, smoky greens with little morsels of slab bacon. Southern perfection!
