Smothered Collard Greens and Cabbage
Description
Cabbage and collard greens are fried with plenty of smoky bacon, seasoned with greens seasoning, and simmered until meltingly tender.
Ingredients
•
1/2 pound bacon, chopped
•
1/2 large onion, chopped
•
5 leaves collard greens - rinsed, trimmed and chopped
•
salt and ground black pepper to taste
•
1 teaspoon greens seasoning, divided
•
1 head cabbage, chopped
•
1 pinch white sugar
Directions

Fry the bacon with the onion in a large skillet over medium heat until the bacon is crisp, about 10 minutes. Stir in the chopped collard greens, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of the greens seasoning; cook and stir for 5 minutes.

Add in the darker chopped cabbage leaves, and cook and stir until almost tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining cabbage; season with salt, black pepper, sugar, and the remaining greens seasoning. Stir well; cover and cook until tender, stirring occasionally so that the greens do not scorch, about 10 minutes.
