Description
Easy Crockpot Collard Greens, also known as Slow Cooker Collard Greens have only 6 ingredients. And in my humble opinion, this is the best way to cook collard greens! The greens are cooked in a hearty broth and loaded with the smoky flavor of bacon. This is a fool-proof classic Southern side dish.
