Instructions

Cook bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium heat, stirring often, until browned and crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl using a slotted spoon; leave drippings in the Dutch oven.

Stir water, sugar, vinegar, salt, and black pepper into drippings until sugar has dissolved; bring to a boil. Add collard greens; stir until well combined. Cover Dutch oven, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until greens are tender, 30 to 45 minutes. Add a little more water or vinegar if greens become too dry.

Transfer greens to a serving dish; top with bacon.
