Greens

I made greens and cornbread muffins the other night for the family....unfortunately, I ate so much my belly hurt till the next morning:)  If you don't like greens or have never tried them, try these...they are delicious!!!!  Found the recipe on Paula Deen.  Here it is:

8 strips bacon (about 8 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium Vidalia onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 stick butter
2 cups water
2 pounds collards, rinsed and drained, stems removed, leaves cut into 1/2-inch strips
Salt
Hot sauce

Directions

Cook the bacon in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and butter and cook until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes more. Add the water and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the collards and cook until very soft, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and hot sauce, to taste. Transfer the greens to a serving bowl and serve.


My only suggestion is either cook the bacon till it is VERY crisp...or use bacon bits!  I think the bacon grease is what gave me the bellyache, well that or my three bowls:)))
