4 slices of bacon, diced

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup chicken broth

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon sugar

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

In a large pot, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the fat in the pot.

      Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

        Add the collard greens to the pot, stirring to combine with the onion and garlic.

          Pour in the chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, and sprinkle in the sugar. Mix well.

            Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.

              Cover and simmer for about 30 to 45 minutes, or until the greens are tender.

                Stir the crispy bacon back into the pot before serving.
