Soul Food Cabbage & Collard Greens | I Heart Recipes

Hey y’all! You asked for it, so here it is! My Soul Food Cabbage and Collard Greens!

I’ve had so many requests for this recipe, and I’m finally getting around to sharing it. Sorry it took so long, y’all! This is one of my favorites. It’s a classic soul food dish.

Usually when I make greens I use ham hocks or smoked turkey, but I wanted to use bacon for this recipe. Bacon is quick and easy. Fry it up and then add in chopped red bell pepper and onion. Cook until the onions are translucent. Add in the cabbage, collard greens, garlic, chicken broth and seasonings. Cover and cook over medium heat for 45 minutes, and that is it, fam! The cabbage and greens will be super tender and full of flavor, and your house will smell so good! This dish is the bomb, y’all! All you need now is some cornbread. Enjoy!

I'm a country girl so this looks delicious 😍 All I need is some cornbread cooked in a cast iron skillet & then afterwards I'm eating it with my fingers like my grandma used to do 😂

Holy Moses that made my mouth water! We don't have collard greens over her in the Netherlands but we do have kale. I am going to make this when the kale and cabbage season (think winter) comes around again.

Looks good! Have you ever added vinegar to give it a lil tang? I will try this using ham I stead of bacon, as bacon doesn't agree with me even though I love it. I will use Crisco or olive oil to saute the ham.

Can Smoked turkey wings be substituted for turkey bacon?

You don't need to cook the collard greens first to get tender then add cabbage
