Collard Greens with Bacon
This recipe yields good ole country collard greens with bacon and onion. They're so hearty and satisfying that even those who say, "I don't like greens," will eat these up! You might even get a "Wow!" after the first bite and a "Not at all like I remember them tasting." You can eat them alone but they're best with hot buttered cornbread. Mustard and turnip greens are great this way, too. Enjoy!
