• Sprinkle Goya packets, Tony seasoning, sugar & salt all over the top of the collards.
• Add water to fill the crockpot. The collards should be mostly submerged in the water. If the very top of the collards aren't covered, that's okay. They'll cook down in a few hours. But, you want to add plenty of water here. Take your spoon & apply pressure to the top of the collards. You should be able to see water near the top of the heap.
