Braised Bacon Collards & Beans
6 steps
Prep:20minCook:50min
An easy weeknight recipe if you're willing to take about an hour to prep and braise and one that makes leftovers that are very easy to reheat on a stovetop or in the microwave! I used canned black eyed peas and kidney beans for this recipe and any canned beans do work but I do think using two cans of black eyed peas would be the best option if you have access to them!

Instructions
Step 1
1. Add chopped bacon to large nonstick or cast iron pan on medium heat and cook until crispy/until fat has rendered. While cooking bacon, remove ribs from collard greens, either with a knife or tearing by hand and rinse greens in a colander after rib removal.
Step 2
When bacon had rendered, strain about half the fat (for future use, strain into a ton can or heat proof container for later use as to not waste the seasoned fat)
Step 3
Lowering heat to medium-low, add sliced onion and minced garlic and cook until onion is translucent.
Step 4
Once onion is translucent, add cleaned collard greens, salt, lemon juice, and beef broth and bring to a low boil.
Step 5
Strain canned beans through a colander or sieve and rinse thoroughly with water to remove excess starch before adding to pan with the other ingredients. Add further salt if needed.
Step 6
Simmer until all liquid is removed and serve.
