Instructions
In a large pot or dutch oven at medium-high heat, cook bacon for 8-10 minutes or until it is just about to get crispy. Add chopped onion and saute for 3-4 minutes more, or until tender, opaque, and fragrant.
Add the minced garlic, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes for seasoning then add broth, apple cider vinegar, and collard greens. Stir and continue to cook on medium-high until a slow boil is achieved, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours.
Stir occasionally while the greens are simmering. Cook until the collard greens are nice and tender (or to your preferred tenderness).
