This is a GREAT, simple recipe! In fact, I made my New Year's greens last year using this recipe and, when I wanted to make them again this year, realized I had lost the recipe! Thankfully, I've found it and will keep it this time. As one of the true "GRITS" (Girls Raised in the South), I can honestly say this is one of the best recipes for good Southern-style greens I've found! :)

The spice collard greens are very good and tasty. Thank you for sharing it. I will be making mine like this from now on.

So easy. I found that the moisture from rinsing the greens was ample to cook the greens. After cooking the bacon (and removing half of the grease) I placed the greens into the skillet with the other ingredients and simmered until tender. I served these on new years day with "slow cooker spicy black-eyed peas" submited by MJ46NY. A delicious combination.

I too have southern back ground and we have always put some sort of pork in with the collard's, but what make's this recipe so good and different is the chicken stock. Plain water just doesn't cut it for me any more... I used a mild hot sauce because of the pepper and it was just great. Thanks for the gift. nan

Thank you for the great recipe. I like my greens sweet, so I added some sugar. I am sure I will make this again.

I used a 16oz bag of frozen turnip greens in place of the bunch of collards. The other change I made was to add 2 packets of splenda to try and counteract the bitterness frozen greens tend to have. Really really yummy. Will use this for the rest of the greens in my freezer!

This was my first time cooking collard greens and they came out great! Even my 9 year old loved this recipe.

Really good! This was my first time tasting collard greens. The cayenne adds some spice and the vinegar adds some tang, and it's all offset by the saltiness of the bacon. The water from washing the greens was enough to cook it.
