When I made Collard green first time I didn’t have any meat except bacons . So I used that then it was so good. My BF loved it . Today I will use baked chicken from Walmart 😅 I already try once before . It’s so good . Thank you 🙏
This simple Southern style collards recipe is just the best ever. You don’t need fancy when they have so much good flavor. Thank you Nicole for sharing this Southern staple.
Love these with Malt Vinegar, and Bacon, if you buy chopped, they still need a good washing, remember my G Mother in Knoxville pulling up bunches in her garden then hosing them off in a galvanized tub!! People don't know what they are missing ..
I wash mine leaf by leaf. Soak em in some water, wash wash wash wash wash wash. When you think your done and no more sand. Wash three more times. Whole leaf makes easier washing, multiple times. I tear my greens. Strip the rib out.
I was in search of a good recipe for collard greens, I ran across your video last night. So today, I cooked me some collard greens. And I got to tell you they turned out so good. These are SOOOO delicious. Thank you for sharing the recipe!
Man I miss the comfort food and hospitality of the South.Havent had collards with cornbread since living in GA.Thanks for sharing this beautiful recipe and Have a Blessed Day !
You are an amazing cook and I love that most of your delicious recipe videos are only five minutes or so. Great for my generation with a very short attention span LOL!
I am really glad I found you and your recipes here,. Your instructions are easy to follow and you actually cook things I will and like to eat! Don’t stop!!
Yes Ma'am collard greens are delicious . Hot sauce put on them .Got to have hot buttered cornbread . Pairing I would like fried chicken, sweet potatoes, corn on the cob . Perfect meal in my opinion . Thanks for sharing . Have a beautiful day .🥰

Oh my goodness! You can teach an old dog new tricks!! I am a 72 year old retired grandma and I am going to make collard greens for the first time in my entire life this weekend!! I cannot wait to try this recipe.
I love this so much. The 'make it your own' tidbit is perfect. This was how I eventually figured out how to make geeens. I do three bunches of collared to one of mystard greens. Adds a green peppery flavor
This is exactly how I make my collards (and cabbage), using bacon or smoked turkey legs just break up so nicely and render chunks of smoked, meaty bites. Lady, you did your thing! I could taste them through the phone. Perfect instructions! That little jig dance tells the whole story - its mmm mmm gooood! Love your accent too!
Great! Thank you. Not sure why you need oil before you render the bacon, seems excessive but I'll definitely try this your way. I love cooked greens especially turnip greens.
I love your videos! You are my kind of person! Thank you for being real! Would you show us how to make some meal bowls? I know they’ve gotten very popular but I have no idea how to put them together. Thank you very much…a huge fan from Houston, Tx!
You cook them perfectly! I've grown my own for 31 straight seasons. First tasted them in basic training, Ft. McClellan, Alabama. It's November in zone 7 and they've grown to over 4 ft tall. I still love them but can hardly give them away here.
Followed your recipe exactly, they turned out amazing. This is my first time to cook collards and they were picked from my garden on the same day. I did put a little sugar and apple cider vinegar in the mix. I don't need to find another recipe, I'm sold.
Here in the frozen Canadian north was able to find Collard Greens at Save On Foods grocery for only 2.40 $ Canadian or about 1.80 USD for a bunch. Never tried them before usually make a similar dish with Spinach but making your recipe tonight. Love your presentation and effortless confidence...it is very inspiring. Thankyou. 😋
Awesome, thanks! I love the way you cook, the nice flow, and the great explanations, with a little sweet sass thrown in. I have to confess, only recently tried collard greens while on the way back from the keys at a Miami BBQ joint, believe it or not. The collard greens had the flavor of my grandmother's green beans with bacon, it brought me right back to her beautiful memories.
Looks really good. I like the tips for preparing the collards for cooking. Not as common in grocery stores in the Northeast but available in farmers markets in the summer. I have the same cooking pot as your MawMaw. Over 40 years old and still cooks wonderful soups and stews. Have to give this recipe a try.
Hey Nicole. Lo w your videos! Can you show us how to cook fresh green beans? I'm a 72 yr young southern woman. I was taught to cook my green beans by boiling them, usually with new red potatoes. I look the crispness, brightness, and flavor of green beans done in a skillet. I just need the to learn the method and ingredients to cook them that way. Thanks so very much. Pam in South Carolina.
That’s soul food for you. I love them as I get older but when I was younger my grandmother made them and I didn’t care for them but man I missed out they are amazing with fried chicken and cornbread
Vegetarian so didn't use the bacon. I didn't buy enough greens--forgot how they cook down. As a terrible cook -- thank you; this looks easy. I'd love to learn to cook Indian food, especially Aloo Gobi.
Those look great. If you ain't eating collards with your Bar-B-Q: you're doing it wrong. Especially when you hit them with white vinegar-- really cuts through the fat of the meal.
I'm just a city slicker from out west, but I tried this recipe this weekend and I ate the entire pot. I wasn't quite sure what to do with leftovers. Can they be saved for a day or two in the fridge? Thanks so much for this.
Great vid. ive recommended this to plenty of ppl on one way of cooki g collards. thank you. i dont care what color, creed, race or culture you claim to be we all have that mawmaw type dish. if theres anything thatll brings us all togethet its food.
Thanks. My southern Mama made awesomely delicious greens of all kinds. Unfortunately, I only enjoyed them and did not learn how to cook them. I appreciate this video and I liked watching you do the happy eating dance too. LOL
Mouthwatering. I tried cooking this once and it did not taste good. I always understand that it takes hours to cook but you are showing that is a myth. I did not remove the stems at the time. Will try cooking it again.
I remove the stems, chop them into small pieces, and then add them to the pot liqueur early to make sure they get tender, then I add the rest of the greens.
Great base recipe for someone trying to experiment with southern style collards. I made it this way (with some slight tweaking) and it came out great. Fortunately, I found already washed, chopped greens with stems removed so saved on some labor there. As she stated they run you about $4-5, which was actually the same price as unprepared greens (albeit probably somewhat less yield) but still was plenty for two and leftovers the next couple days. I didn't have the full 3 cups chicken broth so I used 1 3/4c and 1 1/4c water which was what I had on hand. You'll need to compensate with more salt as they were slightly underseasoned for my taste this way. Also put a small splash of pepper sauce in during the cook process, which didn't yield the result I was looking for, so I ended up putting a nice dose more in the mixture and it came out fantastic. Also, we tend to like greens with a little texture and crunch, so I shaved about 10-15 min off the simmer and they had a pleasant texture to them. Defintely recommend this recipe and I will be using my inspired version for prepping collards moving forward. Note: this recipe is very similar to a southern style green beans recipe I use, so it's great for substituting!
Just one question, about washing the greens, you sure you should cut them or shred them first? I've always washed first...shredded or cut after. It seems a larger, smoother surface is easier to clean.
Who is the chief Nicole. I'm married to a Raven-Haired Southern Bell with a sparkling personality so this young lady is very appealing. I'm surprised she doesn't have her own RUclips channel. She Did a great job with the Collard Greens.
Gwen B, if you have access to any soil, they're the easiest thing to grow. Just be sure to cover them with a fine gauze at the beginning of the season to keep the cabbage moths from enjoying them and eating holes in them. They just grow and grow even after the frost. I've read they taste even better after the frost.

I saved the pot licker, about a quart, and made a fantastic refrigerator soup. (Whatever was in the refrigerator went in the soup.) It was awesome!
That’s the best way to do greens! I like you! 😊
Thanks for your recipe. I tried to cook as you instructed, and it tasted delicious with no bitterness 😊

Im a northerner who loves collard greens! I can get it from certain BBQ places. I really have to learn how to make this. Thanks 😋
So much better tasting and cheaper than those little containers when cooked at home plus you have plenty of leftovers to freeze for later.😀
You cook them perfectly! I've grown my own for 31 straight seasons. First tasted them in basic training, Ft. McClellan, Alabama. It's November in zone 7 and they've grown to over 4 ft tall. I still love them but can hardly give them away here.
This reminds me of how my grandma made her southern collard greens 😄
Great video. Thank you. Never tried collared greens but loce the idea of southern cooking doing this recipe tonight. Love from Scotland
I love me a good pot of collards with a side of cornbread. I sometimes mixed them with mustard or turnip greens
Yum!
🥵
I ❤ collard greens. One of my favorite southern side dish.
I've never eaten collard greens, but you make them look delicious and doable!! Definitely going to give them a try. Thanks!
I need to start making this more often! Especially since my family loves collard greens!
Followed your recipe exactly, they turned out amazing. This is my first time to cook collards and they were picked from my garden on the same day. I did put a little sugar and apple cider vinegar in the mix. I don't need to find another recipe, I'm sold.

Collards are my favorite greens, and this was an excellent tutorial.✔👍 I had no idea anyone made collard slaw! I'd like to see that!
Always wondered what collard greens was we call them spring cabbage and usually just boil them. I am so going to try your way looks delicious
That’s soul food for you. I love them as I get older but when I was younger my grandmother made them and I didn’t care for them but man I missed out they are amazing with fried chicken and cornbread
Yeah Girl, you know what you doing in the kitchen. I'm proud to call you a Southern Sister.

.res..😮
I’m making some today with thick cut smoked bacon. I’m throwing some smoked kielbasa in my liquor and make it a meal
What liquor u using??
@@Bumpa1962 The juice inside the pot is typically referred to as the “liquor” or “pot liquor”. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pot_liquor
I'm making collard greens for the first time today. I like this simple recipe.
Of all the collard cooking here on RUclips I like yours the best .. Thank you for sharing..
❤❤❤❤❤ I tried your recipe. They came out perfect. Thank you so much.
South Carolina, hear georgious! You're food to my heart! ❤
Those look great.
If you ain't eating collards with your Bar-B-Q: you're doing it wrong. Especially when you hit them with white vinegar-- really cuts through the fat of the meal.
I am watching mine grow, won’t be long. Collard heaven.
I really want to grow some. I have in the past, but it’s been a while.
I'm just a city slicker from out west, but I tried this recipe this weekend and I ate the entire pot. I wasn't quite sure what to do with leftovers. Can they be saved for a day or two in the fridge? Thanks so much for this.
Yes, you can refrigerate & reheat ... best to remove some from the pot at the earlier greener stage to refrigerate ( or freeze) for later!
Nicole, I have learned so much from your videos! I can't wait to try this recipe.
Made this recipe, I Pressure cooked them for 30 min in my electric pressure cooker. Delicious.
Looks super delicious 😋
One of my favorite meals.
I love any kind of greens for sure
Great vid. ive recommended this to plenty of ppl on one way of cooki g collards. thank you.
i dont care what color, creed, race or culture you claim to be we all have that mawmaw type dish. if theres anything thatll brings us all togethet its food.
I love the stems! I cut them out, chop them into 1/2 inch pieces and add them to the liquor first so they can cook longer and get tender.
I am going to try this for the first time. This recipe will help
I'm from Texas but moved to the Northwest. Now somebody gave me greens so thank you. Im going in!❤ Subbed Big Time Wa, State but Houston Born
Turned out great - thanks!!!
How long do we cook them for?? They look good
Always use homegrown collard greens. Best in cool weather after the frost falls on them
No onion!

I prefer to wash leafy veggies when they are whole too.
Minus the onions but if she would have said neck bones I would have thought she stole my mama's recipe you had me at vinegar can't wait to try
The greens look amazing. Also, she kind of reminds me of Pamela Adlon.
I was taught to use Smoked Turkey necks. But I'm willing to try your way too.
I never had collards but today was the day. OMG 😱 SO DELICIOUS!!!!!
Im from Louisiana.. We put turkey neck in em and cabbage. Fu****g delicious
Making these tonight!
Please teach us how to make southern peas/Lima beans/field peas!
I only seen 10 seconds of this video and just based on the accent, I know the collard greens are going to be amazing
I have never made them, Thanks, I am making it now.
Omg that looks sooo good.ty.i now will keep your recipe in my rolodex for life!!
