Mmm, mmm, mmm…  Grandma’s creamed greens recipe, secretly shared (shhhh). Crispy bacon adds a smoky and salty flavor to the slow simmered collard greens—super delicious!

Serves 4

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet, brown the bacon over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Remove the bacon and drain on a paper towel.
2. Add the butter to the pan, melt, and sauté the onions for 3 minutes or until tender and translucent. Stir in the flour, creating a roux, and whisk in the milk and cream.
3. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and stir in the collard greens. Season with the salt and paprika.
4. Cover, and cook for 20–30 minutes or until greens are tender and sauce has thickened slightly. Stir in bacon before serving.
