Collard Greens in a Hurry

"Vegetable side dish. I love slow-cooked collards as much as the next person, but I was raised on these. My mom worked, so this was the easiest way for her to cook them during the week."

directions

  • Cook bacon in heavy skillet until crisp (use medium heat). (Sometimes the bacon will stick together; you must break it up).
  • Add butter, cook until melted.
  • Add veggies, stir.
  • Add your seasonings.
  • Add frozen greens - no water is necessary; the ice on the greens will melt into water. Cover pot with lid. In about ten minutes, the greens should be soft.
  • Then stir them, mixing them up with the onions, peppers and bacon. Cover again, stirring periodically for approximately 20 minutes, or until greens are dark and soft.
  • Serve hot.
  • If you like fresh greens, that's fine. Just make sure to add a 1/4 cup of water right after you add the peppers and onions.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Philadelphia, PA. I am single and prefer it that way. I'm currently unemployed, but looking actively for work as a marketing administrator. I do enjoy cooking for friends, but my family finds my tastes too exotic for them. I am a Navy veteran and have traveled extensively throughout Asia and lived in California for seven years. I'm constantly changing my profile because I am never satisfied with it. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
