      Directions

      Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. When water boils, add greens and cook until wilted and tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

      Place bacon in a large frying pan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and fat is rendered, about 3 minutes. Add onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add greens and turn to coat well. Add broth - it should cover greens and let cook until broth is reduced and greens are very tender, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and serve.

        OMG this recipe was amazing. My husband loves greens and up until today I have never made greens because I have never ate them. As soon as I watched your show today I went to the store and bought all the ingredients and I made it with baked chicken and baked mac and cheese. My husband loved it! Thank you so much!
