Great no-fuss way to cook collard greens to perfection. I skipped the ham hock and salt, cooked the greens on high for 2 hours and then left it to simmer on low for another 4-5 hours. I recommend you wait until just before serving to add any extra salt as the ham and/or bacon may supply all the salt needed. Delicious, Sue.

Great recipe! I used a combination of mustard and turnip greens that I bought at a roadside stand. The flavor and texture were great, as was the "pot likker" with cornbread. Now that I can cook greens in a crockpot, we'll be eating them more often! Thanks!!

DH loved it! I did not use the ham hock. Cut up some lean ham and added the last hour or so. I did add some chopped onion to the pot and followed sugarpea and left off the salt. They were plenty salty from the bacon and ham. Will try this with other greens.

My husband is a born and bread Georgia boy and was floored by this recipe! I've made it a few times already and have replaced the ham hock with a smoked turkey leg. Wonderful flavor and more meat to dish out!

I love this recipe because it is so easy. I made this for my Thanksgiving lunch at work and it was a hit. Thank you so much for this easy way to fix collard greens. This is the way I will fix my collard greens for now on.

Wow! Great recipe! I skipped the meat because I didn't have any in the house, and skipped the onion for dietary reasons. I did add a little bit of hickory smoke powder for the bacon flavor. I sprinkled in a little olive oil right before cooking. I cooked on low for about 5 hours and on high for another hour. The texture was perfect... that melt in your mouth feeling. I added a little red wine vinegar and Tabasco upon serving. Hubby wasn't crazy about them (this was his first greens experience) but he ate them anyway. Will make again!! Thanks!

This was delicious. I added 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes for an extra zing.

Today I'm making this for the second time. The first time was at Easter and I made it for myself. The rest of the family doesn't go for greens much. Not only was it a breeze to put together, to my surprise, everyone in the family liked it.
