Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer gently until the collard greens are tender and infused with the smoky bacon flavor, approximately 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
For an even deeper flavor, consider using smoked bacon.
A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a delightful hint of spice.
If the greens seem too acidic, add a touch of brown sugar or maple syrup to balance the flavors.
Serve these collard greens as a comforting side dish with your favorite Southern-inspired meals.
