Smothered Collard Greens and Cabbage

• 1/2 lb bacon, chopped
• 1/2 large onion, chopped
• 1 bunch collard greens, trimmed and chopped
• salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 tsp greens seasoning (or any spice combination you like!) - thyme, oregano, garlic, celery seed, red pepper flakes all do well here
• 1 head cabbage, chopped
• 1 pinch white sugar

1. Fry bacon with onion in large skillet over medium heat until bacon is crisp, about 10 minutes.

2. Stir in chopped collard greens, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of the greens seasoning; cook and stir for 5 minutes.

3. Add in darker chopped cabbage leaves, and cook and stir until almost tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in remaining cabbage; season with salt, black pepper, sugar, and the remaining greens seasoning. Stir well; cover and cook until tender, stirring occasionally so that the greens do not scorch about 10 minutes.

Serve warm! Delicious with grilled fish or chicken and boiled potatoes.
