Best Cooked Greens image

These greens are so good! I've even got people who hate vegetables that love these! There's just something about a mess of greens that make a meal seem so "down home" and comforting. Pictured are turnip greens, but you could also use Collards or Mustards or a combination of different greens with this recipe. Whatever you like.

These cooked greens were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more salt and pepper next time.

These cooked greens were really good. The greens were tender and flavorful, and the bacon and onions added a nice smoky flavor. I'll definitely be making these again.

These cooked greens were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less cayenne pepper next time. Other than that, the greens were tender and flavorful, and the bacon and onions added a nice smoky flavor.

These cooked greens were just okay. The greens were tender, but they were a little bland. The bacon and onions added some flavor, but not enough to make the dish really stand out. I probably won't be making this recipe again.

I was really disappointed with these cooked greens. The greens were tough and bitter, and the bacon and onions were overcooked. I followed the recipe exactly, but I don't think I'll be making this recipe again.
