These are GREAT. I've made them several times. My kids never liked collards until I cooked them this way. I prefer to use boneless smoked pork hock instead of the pork chop. Also I add one packet each of 'Sazon-Goya Con Culantro Y Achiote' and 'Sazon-Goya Con Cilantro Y Tomate' along with the cayenne pepper. Sometimes I also add sliced cherry tomatoes. Always buy a 6 pack of Guiness brand beer in this. One bottle for the collards, five for the cook....DELICIOUS!

Yum, yum, yum! This recipe was amazing. The only changes I made were using salt pork (based on another review) instead of the pork chop and eliminating the bacon and using pre-made bacon pieces. I fried a chunk of the the fat from the salt pork instead of using the bacon and then fried the onions and salt pork pieces in the grease (and tossed the extra fat after frying). I also added a generous amount of hot sauce (Texas Pete!) to give it more of a kick. I will definitely be making this again.

This was a great recipe even though I ended up not having all the ingredients. I'm guessing cooked to the T it would be 5 stars. I had to forego the smoked pork chop (went bad in my fridge) and the onion (ran out!) so I ended up using a little extra bacon, cooking the greens w/the bacon grease, beer and chicken broth. IMO the beer really made the dish unique and flavorful. I also used cayenne pepper (probably more than 1/2 tsp) and added Lawry's seasoned salt as well. I can't wait to try it with the pork chop and onions!

Followed the recipe as written, except, I added 2 tbls. of sugar and about an eighth of a cup of apple cider vinegar. Theses greens are amazing!!!! You do not need to like greens to enjoy this dish.

Like GAgirl I thought I made dang good "greens" but this gets the blue ribbon. I used it (minus the pork chop) for turnips and greens and it's now the "house recipe." Only thing I'll change next time is to reduce the amount of cayenne just a smidgen. I told my 91 year-old aunt about it and she (who taught me how to cook greens and still cooks for her son and his family) said "well, I'll just have to try that."
