Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Collard Greens

    Wash the collard greens thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large pot over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add chopped onion and minced garlic to the bacon fat. Sauté until the onion is translucent.

  4. 4

    Add Collard Greens and Broth

    Add the chopped collard greens to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Season and Cook

    Add jalapeño powder, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Cover and let simmer for about 30-35 minutes, or until the greens are tender.

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Crumble the cooked bacon and stir it back into the collard greens before serving. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
