Cook's Notes
You can substitute collard greens with mustard greens, Swiss chard, dandelion greens, and beet greens. Adjust the cooking time down a few minutes to achieve desired tenderness.
Variations
Vegetarian version: Omit the bacon and use diced red bell pepper and/or diced tomato to make a seasoning base. Mince 1/2 red bell pepper or 1 tomato, or a combination of the two, and add to the pan in place of the bacon in Step 2. Cook for 8 instead of 13 minutes before proceeding to Step 3.
