Hooray for bacon! I guess I’m in love with this beast as it’s been featured in four dishes this past week.
These were the first collard greens I’ve ever made and I wouldn’t change a thing. The flavor is so deep and layered that we couldn’t get enough of them. I’m super excited that I made such a large batch as we will definitely be eating these greens tomorrow.
The dish took me longer to prep than I had originally estimated as the greens needed to first be wilted in order to fit into my crock pot. But man, was it worth that extra time. The smell permeating the house while these guys were cooking was amazing.
We served them alongside a friend’s chicken pot pie on a day when the wind chill made it feel like -20°F. If you are looking for a comforting side for a casual dinner party, look no further. You found it.
