Let's give collard greens a chance 😀

We know...collard greens are not most people's favorite thing to eat. And when you hear "canned collard greens", you're probably already thinking, "I'll pass".

Don't count them out just yet! With a few simple ingredients, you can turn a can of collard greens into a flavorful, comforting side dish!

Sometimes, the best recipes are the ones that surprise us 😀 If you have never been a fan of collard greens, this might just change your mind!

Do you have a favorite way to cook collard greens?

INGREDIENTS:
* 3 pieces of bacon, cut into 1/2" pieces
* Half of a yellow onion, diced
* 1-2 cloves of minced garlic (depending on taste)
* 1 can collard greens
* 1/2 cup chicken broth
* 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
* 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar

WHAT TO DO:

* Add the minced garlic and cook for 60-90 seconds more.
* Add drained, canned collard greens to the skillet.
* Pour in chicken broth and apple cider vinegar and then sprinkle the brown sugar on top.
