That is how I do my collards. I use chicken stock for liquid and add a package of well done bacon and all the drippings from that. I add ham pieces, onions or onion powder, and pepper flakes. I don't measure anything, just throw it in to taste. I put everything in at the same time except for the vinegar and I add it towards the end of cooking. <br />Cook down really good and you've got the best greens ever! Luv me some collard greens.
