Instructions
1
Heat bacon drippings in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir greens in hot drippings until limp, tender, and significantly reduced in size, 1 to 4 minutes, depending on how tough the greens are. Season with salt and serve straight from the skillet.
2
If you prefer extra-tender greens, add 3 cups water to greens in the skillet; season with salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 hour, adding more water as needed.
