These collard greens are a true Southern delight. They are a staple at our family gatherings, and they are always a hit. I love the way the bacon and vinegar give the greens their signature flavor.

These collard greens also freeze well. I like to make a big batch and then freeze them in individual portions. It's a great way to have a healthy meal on hand whenever I need one.

This recipe is great for make-ahead meals. You can cook the greens ahead of time and then reheat them when you're ready to serve. It's a great way to save time on busy weeknights.

I love that this dish is so versatile. You can serve it as a side dish, or you can use it as a main course. I've even used it as a filling for tacos and burritos.

My family loved these collard greens! They are now a regular side dish at our dinner table. I usually double the recipe so that I have leftovers for lunch the next day.

I love spicy food, so I added a pinch of cayenne pepper to the recipe. It gave the greens a nice kick without being too overpowering.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the bacon and used vegetable broth instead. The greens were still delicious! I served them with grilled tofu and quinoa, and it was a perfect meal.
