This recipe is a great way to use up leftover bacon. I always have some leftover bacon in the fridge, and this is a delicious way to use it up.

I'm not a big fan of collard greens, but I made this recipe for my husband and he loved them. He said they were the best collard greens he's ever had. I'll definitely be making them again for him.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this recipe with tempeh bacon instead of pork bacon. It turned out great! The tempeh bacon added a smoky flavor to the collard greens, and they were just as delicious as the traditional version.

These collard greens were easy to make and turned out great. I used turkey bacon instead of pork bacon, and they were still delicious. I served them with cornbread and black-eyed peas, and it was a perfect Southern meal.
