MEMAW'S COLLARD GREENS



Memaw's Collard Greens image

My Memaw was a great cook of southern soul food and she taught me this recipe. When I got married, I made it a tradition in my family. The kids know the minute they walk into the house that Dad's making greens (the aroma fills the air). And no matter where we have our holiday meals or who is in charge of the menu, I insist on bringing the greens.

Categories     Collard Greens

Time 4h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 bunches fresh collard greens
1/2 lb smoked bacon
1/3-1/2 cup sugar
salt
water

Steps:

  • Thoroughly wash greens in a sinkful of cold water.
  • Break stems off an inch or two below leaf and discard.
  • Tear/shred the leaves by hand and place them in a large cooking pot.
  • Add bacon, 1/4 cup of sugar, and about 2 tablespoons of salt.
  • Fill pot with water up to about 1 1/2 inches from top of pot.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, and simmer for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally (water will cook off, so add more if necessary).
  • After 2 hours, add more sugar (not more than 1/4 cup; I usually add slightly less) and more salt to taste.
  • Fill the pot back to about half-full with water.
  • Cover, boil, reduce heat, simmer, and stir occasionally for another 1 1/2-2 hours (if more water is needed, add only enough to keep about three fingers worth in the pot).
  • Serve with a slotted spoon to drain away water and eat'em up (some folks eat'em with tabasco or pepper sauce).
  • These are great as a side dish with fried chicken, country ham, meatloaf, turkey, roast, or as a companion to a big bowl of beans.
  • I usually enjoy the leftovers with nothing but a pan of cornbread.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef. An 80/20 blend of ground beef is ideal for meatloaf. It has enough fat to keep the meatloaf moist, but not so much that it becomes greasy.
  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the meatloaf will taste.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. This will help the meatloaf hold its shape and make it easier to slice.
  • Serve the meatloaf with your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes, green beans, and corn are all classic choices.

Conclusion:

Memaw's meatloaf is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, it's sure to become a favorite in your home. Here are some additional tips for making the best meatloaf:
  • Use a variety of spices to flavor the meatloaf. Some popular choices include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and thyme.
  • Add some vegetables to the meatloaf for extra flavor and nutrition. Diced carrots, celery, and onions are all good options.
  • If you want a more moist meatloaf, add a cup of beef broth or tomato juice to the meatloaf mixture.
  • Bake the meatloaf in a loaf pan or a free-standing roasting pan. If you use a loaf pan, line it with parchment paper to make it easier to remove the meatloaf from the pan.
  • Cook the meatloaf at a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
