I'm not a big fan of collards, but this recipe changed my mind. The bacon and bourbon really elevate the dish and make it something special.

This recipe is a keeper. The collards were so tender and flavorful, and the bacon and bourbon added a delicious smokiness. I'll definitely be making this again and again.

Followed the recipe to the T and the collards came out tough and bitter. Not sure what went wrong.

I made this dish exactly as the recipe stated and it was way too salty. I think next time I'll cut the amount of bacon in half.

OMG! This dish is absolutely delicious. The bacon and bourbon add a smoky and rich flavor to the collards, and the brown sugar and vinegar give it a perfect balance of sweet and tangy. I'm definitely adding this to my regular rotation of recipes.
