How to make southern soul food collard greens with bacon!
We all have that one dish that is pretty much our signature dish. It just so happens that collard greens happens to be one of mine. My southern soul food style collard greens are simply the best. I truly mean it. EVERYONE that has tasted this collard green recipe LOVES it!
Southern collard greens can be made several ways. You can make your collard greens with bacon ( like I will be doing), smoked turkey wings, ham hocks, or even smoked pork neck bones.
I add 1 large jalapeno to my pot. If you are not a fan of hot peppers, you can omit the jalapeno.

I made greens for the first time using this recipe. OMG! they were so good. I’ve had greens before, but only at restaurants and they were NASTY. These had so much flavor. Thanks for the post.
I find that the restaurant make there greens sweet or way to dry for my liking. LOL
Thank you so much for sharing your passion and knowledge of southern cooking. You bring back so many memories and I can even swear I smell the food when watching your videos! Keep making your viewers hungry!
Thanks for the kind words Nelson!
I can SMELL the food not only thru the vids but the pics too!!!!
How to cook the meat If I use smoke Turkey?
Same way 🙂
I would love to have some of your seasoning. Gonna do your cornbread dressing for turkey day
I agree but t greens look I can’t wait to try them tomorrow
Hey. I like all of the smoked meats you included for your recipe. Have you tried Cabbage-Greens? My Dad liked to make those with Ham Hocks. Happy Holdays and many more great recipes.
This recipe is so darn good!!! I make some good greens but this recipe had me make some amazing greens
Wow, this looks so good! Would love to try dish as one of my pot of goodies on thanksgiving.
I made your collard greens tonight for dinner along with your fried chicken. OMG these collard greens really are the best! The chicken was amazing too. I can’t wait to try more of your recipes. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks for giving it a try! XOXO
Rosie can I do this with the clean and cut greens in the bag or do they have to be fresh collards?
You sure can hunny!
Hi Rosie!! These greens look so tasty and I can’t wait to try them! I usually cook my greens with smoked turkey legs because a few of my family members don’t eat pork. However, I’m a HUGE fan of bacon (YUMMY)!!! My question is did you just cut the ends off of your bacon? Would it make a big difference if I just cut up the whole slice of bacon?
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
Can I just use the whole bacon slice or must it be bacon ends?
I make deliciuis greens but I would live to try your recipe
Hey rosie, is it ok to use garlic powder and onion powder with this recipe?
Sure, that should be fine.
I fixed this for my hubby and now I fix them every week. He just cant get enough! I am a very busy mom so I wilt mine a little bit in a pot of water then place them in the crock pot on low for 3 hours or so and then on warm after they cook enough. I also add the bacon 30 min. before I serve them so it is crisp. I just LOVE this recipe. Thx so much for sharing!
Thanks for giving the recipe a try!
Hi rose
I was wondering about the bacon you used what kind of bacon, the fat back bacon or just regular bacon
sliced please please contact me back i was going to cook them for diner tomorrow please and thanks so much cause they looked so good
Hi Tomika,
I used bacon ends. “Bacon ends” tend to have more fat than regular bacon. Bacon ends can be found near the other bacon at your local grocery store. It may be labeled as ” bacon ends & pieces” .
Hi Rosie, I just found your website and I’m impressed so far. Question??? For mustard and turnip greens (already cut and cleaned in a bag) can I follow the same recipe as collard greens?
Yes, you can use the same recipe 😀
I recently purchased your cookbook. Will order seasonings soon. I enjoy your Facebook posts. It’s been a tough 2 years, adjusting to our new normal. And you bring some joy!
Hi Rosie. I just luv all your recipes. You are truly a southern cook! Can I hire you to cook for us? Lol. I am going to try this collard greens recipe, it looks so good! Tried many my husband don’t like the way i cook them. So I am going to try your way. Pray for me!
How did it come out?
My second time making Collards, and I can whole heartedly say they came out AMAZING!
Can’t wait to try this recipe for Thanksgiving.
They are amazing! I have another collard greens recipe coming before Thanksgiving, so stay tuned 😀
Hey there, I was just wondering what serving size this recipe is. 🙂
It should feed about 8 people
Hi – What’s the serving size for this recipe?? I have about 30 people coming over for thanksgiving so i want to make sure i have enough 🙂
Thanks!
Two lbs of greens probably feed 4-5 people. You have a lot of cooking to do missy! LOL
Hi Rosie, is it possible for you to give the measurements of the ingredients for 30 people. i will be the joke of the dinner if i mess up (joking out of love tho)
You’ll probably have to make this x 4
I no longer see the recipe for the best collard greens recipe and would like to have it please.
It’s now there. Sorry about that!
I made these last night with your pinto beans and both were delicious! I’ve made collards several times before but they were never this good. Thanks for sharing!
Glad that you liked the recipe! XOXO
I’m trying this today. I’ve always wanted to learn how to country cook and finding you on YouTube was like finding my long lost big sister who was gonna teach me her trade secrets! I’m a nervous cook typically and you make it seem so easy, I appreciate you!!
Aweeee. Hi Stephanie! I’m glad that you found me Let me know if you have any questions! XOXO
These greens are full of flavor and super easy to make. I think I boiled the chicken broth too long or had the stove on too high because a lot of the broth boiled away… There still wasn’t enough juice even after I added the 2 cups of water. Even after that little hiccup the greens were still delicious. Thank you so much!
Best collard greens I’ve eaten, do you have a cook book? I will be trying more of recipes.
Thanks! No cookbook is available at this time.
Really want to try but never made before how do I clean and cut the greens will it be on the package somewhere lol I no but just want it done right
You’d clean the greens like you would clean all your other veggies. With a little bit of vinegar and lots of water. You can buy the already cleaned greens at the store, but still rinse them before you cook them.
Soooo good! Thank you for this recipe! I’m cooking my Christmas dinner from your website and this is my first dish and they’re Sooo perfect! :). Thank you!
These are the best, I subsituded basalmic vinegar
This is definatly the best collard greens recipe, I substituted basalmic vinegar. Thanks for the great recipe.
Thanks Craig!
This was too funny not to pass on to you. I was going to save your good recipe to Pinterest. You know how it tries to choose your category or file that you usually store this type of recipe in? I was expecting Veggies, Side Dishes or maybe even Pressure Cooking. You know what Pinterest’s first choice was? HOUSEPLANTS! LOL,
Oh my stars!!! LMAOOOO. What the heck? LOL. Hilarious!!!!
I tried your recipe today and it was amazing! My husband said they were “on point”! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Evelyn! Thank YOU for trying my recipe!
You are by far the best cook EVER! I sooooooo enjoy your recipes. My family enjoys them even more. I’ve tried the layered spaghetti, fried cabbage, sherpherd’s pie and the collard greens. I never thought I could cook greens like my mom until I tried your recipe. They were delicious! Now I’m just waiting on a cookbook, cooking show, restaurant, or something because you are just that good. Keep up the good work and keep those recipes coming. You got me back into cooking more……. Thank you!
Thanks so much Pat!
What brand of chicken broth do you use? Can I substitute the chicken broth for chicken bouillon?
I use several brands. Usually whatever is on sale. If using bouillon, be sure that you know how much liquid to add as well.
Made your greens yesterday. The broth tasted and smelled amazing. I will be cooking these for my mom soon. Thanks!
Glad that you liked the recipe!
Hi! I have tried to make greens like my bf mother who passed a year ago. Only one resturaunt in town makes them like her but even the family size order is too small for him. He said she used jalapeno pepper and bacon as well but I cant figure out what makes the sweetness?
Any help would be appreciated!
Some people add a few tablespoons of sugar to their greens to add sweetness. You can try adding a little sugar. Try adding 1 tbsp at a time until you reach your preference.
Hi Rosie,
What would be a non-pork substitute for the bacon? Thank you,
Ashley
Smoked turkey, but it would have to be prepared differently.
Thank you, did you have the directions posted elsewhere or able to share them on how to prepare?
I don’t have the recipe posted at the moment. Sorry.
It looks pretty simple can I also add cabbage to this to make the recipe stretch #beginner
Hi Briana! You can try that! 🙂
Hi, I’m going to make these tonight. I was wondering if the greens weigh 4 pounds before you clean them or after you’ve cut the rib out and clean them. I’m assuming it’s before you clean them…
Hi Robin! The weight is before cooking 🙂
Hello! Can I replace the jalapeno peppers with red pepper flakes? If so, how much?My family and I don’t really like spicy food but we can handle a little “kick”.
Hi there. Try 1/2 tsp 😉
Hi Rosie , can I sub the minced garlic and chopped onion for garlic powder and onion powder? If so, what would you suggest the measurements be?
Hi Shondra! Absolutely. You can add 2 tsp of each 🙂
Yes thank you very much for getting back to me so quickly it’s appreciated.
No problem!
Hi Rosie, my husband loves mixed greens which consist of mustards,turnips(without the bottoms),and spinach. I would like to make these greens for him for Thanksgiving, do you by any chance have a recipe for this dish. Need help!!! Becky
Hi Becky! I sure do! Check out my mixed greens and turnips recipe 🙂
Hi Rosie! How many days in advance can I purchase collard greens from the store? I don’t want to get stuck in he craziness on Thanksgiving eve! Lol
Buy it at most three days in advance
Ok, thank you!
Hi Rosie, I am new to this blog, and I hate to cook. This is my attempt to change that. I so want to try the Mac and cheese recipe and this collard green recipe as well. I just wanted to say how beautiful you are in your profile picture. . I trusted you immediately. I will let you know how the actual cooking turns out. Thank you for sharing your love for cooking with me.
Sara
Hi Sara! Thanks so much for the kind words!
So delicious! They came out perfect
Finally I found a recipe that sounds like the one I lost many years ago. I’d like to prepare my collard greens using a ham hock. How would I do that using your recipe?? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
Hi Rosalie I have a collard greens & ham hock recipe here.
I’m making these greens as we speak and the smells coming from my Kitchen! I cannot wait!!!!!!!
Rosie! I have made these a handful of times now. Your recipe is always my go to! My husband and I LOVE these. We’ve also introduced a lot of people up here in the PNW to these, and they are all shocked at how yummy these are. Collards aren’t common here, but in our home, we make sure they are thanks for this wonderful recipe! Very flavorful!
Thanks for trying my recipe!
I am excited to come across your recipe. I have recently changed to a keto lifestyle and have been looking to find healthy recipes that fit into a low carb diet. I am going to try this out tonight as a side to smoked salmon I have no doubt it will be great!
Excellent recipe! We just planted our collards for the fall. Can’t wait to use some fresh greens with this recipe. I just found you on YouTube. I just ate and now I’m HUNGRY!!!! God Bless.
Glad that you found me! XOXO
Hello! Thank You for your step-by-step recipes. I am eager to try them out for the 1st time. I want to start off trying your Southern collard green recipe. However, my daughter does not eat pork and I would like to substitute bacon with a smoked Turkey wing. Would the steps in this recipe still apply ?
Yes, you can use smoked turkey 🙂
Hi Rosie! The collard greens recipe sounds amazing. Will the same steps apply if i use smoke turkey wings?
The best, hands down! So simple too. Thank you!
Hi Rosie! If I’m only making 2lbs of greens, would I cut the measurements for the ingredients in half? Thanks!
You need to cut the recipe in half.
I really wanted to make this ,I bought everything for it but for some reason I can’t find my collard greens so my question is can I replace the collard greens with broccoli
Absolutely not.
I made your greens for Christmas Eve dinner today and for tomorrow Christmas day! They taste, smell and look so amazing and I can’t wait to see my families faces when they eat them today!!! Yum!!! Thank you SO MUCH FOR SHARING!!!
COUSIN!! You think the greens would be good witb those sweet potato rolls??
I made collards tonight for the first time ever. I thought they were delicious!! Thanks so much for sharing your recipe!
I just have to let you that I’ve have made your greens recipe at least four time’s and I love love love it, keep up the great work and keep the recipes coming
I hate to admit this because I’ve been told I’m a good cook, but your collards are a hundred times better than mine! The way the smoky bacon flavor goes all through the greens! The way the sweetness of the onion lets you know the onion was there, even though it’s all cooked away to nothing! Oh, bless me, these are so good! This is my new recipe, but I will give you the credit. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes, and your sweet self, with us.
Best greens recipe ever. Of course, greens should be seasoned to taste but this is the best guidelines I have ever seen and tasted!! Thank you
I’m sure these are best freshly made. But if that’s not possible, are they good reheated the next day? Thanks!
Absolutely! You can freeze them as well 🙂
First time making greens here as well and everyone loved these. Thanks so much for such good recipes. I’ve made your fried chicken too. Also my first homemade fried chicken, and it also was loved by all. (There are 8 of us.)
Perfect greens! Great flavor. and not too salty! Reminds me of when I lived in SC!
Thank YOU!
I just found you! I have searched for a long time to find recipes that closely mimic the food I grew up on. My Mom passed in 2011 and I have struggled to get my Holiday recipes as close to my Mom’s as possible. She never measured anything but always told me to taste my food to figure it out lol! While my family thinks I nail it every time, I’ve always struggled, nervous that I didn’t add something or too much of something! Nevermind my nieces are always calling me to ask how much of this or that or whats your recipe for…! Now I can tell them something other than a little bit of this and a Lil bit of that!
I really think we’re related! Thank You sweetie, you are truly blessed with a gift.
Glad that you found me!
They stole the show!!! Over the BBQ and all the other food, yay!!! Now that is what everyone always requests from me, thanks for sharing, they really are the best!!!
Absolutely delicious!!! I found this in Pinterest, thank you for sharing your recipe! I’m finding that many southern staples I didn’t like when I was introduced to them as a child was actually because of how it was prepared. This recipe was very easy to follow and tastes amazing.
Question…have you tried freezing them? I have several bags of garden fresh collards and I’m hopeful that I can freeze them (cooked or uncooked) and still enjoy the same taste.
Hi Laneka! I have froze them, and they were just as good!
Rosie’s I love all your recipes thy are so good!!
Thank the heavens I found your recipe again! The first
time I made collard greens I used this recipe and they came out amazing. I couldn’t for the life of me find where I pinned it and used a different recipe the next time. It was fine but not YOUR recipe. 10 min and counting and the pot of collard greens is ready to eat. My mouth is watering, the house smells amazing and I thank you.
Glad that you found me again! I hope you subscribed to my mailing list 🙂
ROSIE GIRL I JUST LOVE YOUR RECIPES. DEFINITELY FOOD FOR THE SOUL. MY BETTER HALF AND HIS FRIENDS AND THEIR WIVES ARE FROM THR DEEP SOUTH. LET ME TELL YOU GIRL, THEY JUST CLUTCH THEIR PEARLS WHEN I SERVE THEM YOUR FOOD. YOU ARE THE BEST! SO SWEET AND FULL OF THE LORDS JOY! LOVE YOU SISTAH, YOU HAVE MY HEART AND STOMACH! LOL DONNA
Thanks so much Donna!!
I made this last night and it was AMAZING! It was my first time making collard greens and my partner’s first time trying it.. He absolutely loved them which says a lot because he can be picky about his vegetables! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing recipe!
So… GOOD!!! Love these! I did use the whole bacon since I did not have bacon ends/pieces! My friend that says no I don’t eat collard greens LOVED THEM!! They had such a great flavor. It is just me and my husband now for the most part so next time I might half the recipe. I made these in my dutch oven. They were perfect!!!!!
Are the greens really spicy with the addition of the jalapeno? I like trying recipes as written before I put my spin on things because sometimes things are perfect the way they are. I digress. I’m asking because I don’t like really spicy food. A hint of spice that goes away after leaving a blanket of warmth on your tongue is okay, but extreme heat is a no go for me.
Hi there. No they aren’t really spicy :-). In my opinion anyway.
Nothing like a mess of greens and fried pork chops. The jalapeno is in there but not over powering.
The Best Collard greens . Thank you for sharing your recipe with us. Can I freeze my leftovers, juice and all in airtight containers?
These really are the best greens!! I couldn’t find a bag of greens so I ended up having to buy them with the stems and everything. Made it more of a special experience so it worked out! This recipe was absolutely amazing. Will save it for the future. Everyone else, use this recipe!
Hi Rosie, thank you for sharing this recipe! I love collard greens and am usually grudgingly sharing…
The recipe I’ve always used was really simple, collards, bacon, onion, seasonings and vinegar. I’ve never added broth to it.
I am going to try your recipe minus the jalapeno, I’ll add a little bit of red chili flakes instead. I imagine the broth will really add flavor. Looking forward to trying it!
Hi Mrs. Rosie in your greens, instead of pork bacon can I use turkey bacon and still get the flavor, or what do you suggest? I’ve learned a lot of different dish from you. Now I can’t wait till my cookbook come in…….. TOMORROW 11/9/2020
You can use turkey bacon, but it will not be as flavorful.. If turkey is used, I suggest smoked turkey wings 😉
I really appreciate this recipe and video! I’m so excited to be making this but am making it for my sister who does not eat pork. I have two questions:
1) If using smoked turkey wings, do I sautee the wings in a pot with some onions as you did in the video before adding the greens?
2) Do I clean the greens the same way you did in your turnip greens video with salt and apple cider vinegar?
Being that i’m home alone and unable to go visit my family this year for Thanksgiving (COVID-19) i’m actually going to try this next week… wish me luck because my culinary skills are definitely “sub-par”…
You can do it!
I’m not a big fan of collards, I’m guessing this recipe will work just as well with Mustard and Turnips?
Sure will 😉
Can I use this recipe with ham hocks?
you sure can! ❤️
These were perfection! I made this greens recipe and your sweet potato pie recipe for thanksgiving. Both were winners! I am eating your crock-pot jambalaya recipe right now. Thank you!!!
I finally tried this recipe after reading the reviews and OMG these collard greens are so delicious. I don’t even want to share them with my family. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I look forward to trying more in the future
How would your recipe differ with using the greens seasoning
Replace all the seasonings, with the Greens seasoning. Season to taste.
Hey cuz.
I wanna to try recipes that aren’t mine for Thanksgiving dinner this year, and I definitely wanna test the greens and a few more of yours!!!!
I definitely intend to try this seasoning for Thanksgiving I was taught to cook greens differently seasoning wise but there is always more than one way to skin a cat lol.
I can’t wait to make these!!!! I love greens I wish I was a green
Hey Rosie! Would love some of your seasoning, I’m making your neckbone recipe as we speak but these greens are getting cooked for Thanksgiving!
I can’t wait to try this!
Looks delicious can’t eat to try this!!
I will be using this recipe for thanksgiving. I have your recipe book and so far I’ve been loving it. That Mac n cheese recipe makes you wanna slap somebody. Lol
This is one of my favorite recipes to use, Rosie is definitely on to something with this one!
OMG trying these for thanksgiving!
Can’t wait to try this recipe!
I used the greens seasoning for canned green beans, makes them so much better
Oh these will be present at thanksgiving! They look amazing
Your green recipe was the recipe I used for making greens for the first time ever and they were a hit and I’ve made them every year for the past 3 years. I’ll never use anything other thank bacon in my greens!
Collards look yummy. I will have to try this recipe. I have never used chicken broth in my collard. I will have to try that. I definitely put in a whole jalapeno.
I’ve made these in the crockpot ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!
I tried your collard greens recipe a while ago, but it remains as a go to recipe for me!! They remind me so much of home. I hope I win those seasonings you are giving away!! I can’t wait to try them.
Thanks for sharing this recipe! This is a must try for Thanksgiving this year. All your recipes look so mouth watering!
I tried your greens one thanksgiving and it went over like fire. People loved your recipe!..I try to use recipes that are out of African American cookbooks. Each year there is something the same but different on my table and two years ago was your greens recipe…so thanks for all of the great recipes and advice and humor you share!
I’m going to try this recipe asap! My mother in law usually would make them for us but she passed away with covid Christmas week last year. Hoping it’ll make the holiday season a little better for my husband and kids.
I will definitely try this recipe. My greens do not come out as tasty as I remember my Mom and Grandma greens. Need help!!
Speak Lawd, speak to these Greens! God is tryna tell yall something Right Neow!
I’ve literally learned how to cook greens off this recipe alone! Although I have yet to use the greens seasonings I can honestly say when you make these greens you will not b e disappointed at all.
Can’t wait to try this recipe
Everytime I cook greens I can’t seem to get them right, but this year I will be trying them your way and see what happens, I married to a country south Carolina man and I need to get this right. Lol. So I’m very grateful for all your recipes girl I have no doubt my Thanksgiving dinner will be the stuff.
Hello cousin I can’t wait to try all of your seasoning. I had order the Famsgiving box but it was canceled.
I have been making collards for years & never used bacon. I will be trying that next! Continue to have an amazing day!
I absolutely can not WAIT for the Black Friday sale so I can fill this pantry with Rosie’s seasonings! I bought my book last year and I just KNOW the seasonings are gonna take me to new levels! Lol
I’ve been rocking with this here lady since she started on Facebook. We have probably tried every mac and cheese recipe she released. Each one better than the last. I have shared her recipes with my daughter and cousins. You can’t go wrong with her down south recipes. I can’t wait to finally try these seasonings. I’m excited. Love ya !
These were awaywalkeresome! Nothing more better than a good ole pot of collard greens and cornbread!

Your greens recipe is the only one I make for my family. I also use your crock pot greens recipe. Both are delicious.
Hey cousin….see this is what I get for being greedy! I was eating honey bbq chips, as I was viewing the video and recipe, and bit my jaw!! Ouch!! Looks delicious!!
This recipe sounds and looks delicious!! When I do make greens I normally use smoked turkey, but I’m going to try this recipe for Thanksgiving. All of your recipes are fabulous and I appreciate you Cousin ❤️
I can’t wait to try this Rosie.
Looks delicious!
I can’t wait to WIN. I’m excited to try this seasoning.
Heyyy cousinnn I love your recipes and going to have to try this as well!
I use the green seasoning on all my vegetables. Can’t wait for the Black Friday sale.
I can’t wait to try your seasonings! I’ve been following you for a while now. I have tried a couple of your recipes which came out great! Thanks for sharing with us!!
I know that those greens are taken to another level with that seasoning especially with the peppers looking forward to trying it
I’ve tried this recipe minus jalapeños ! Loved it
Hey Rosie!!!! I just want to say I love your recipes!!!! Thank you for all you do and keep pushing for greatness!! You have inspired me to get back to cooking tutorials and writing!!!
I’ve always been afraid to cook greens but I’m a try this recipe out! Thank you for this!
It’s been years since I had greens. I’ve never made them because I had no idea how or what seasonings to use. If I had your greens seasonings I would darn well attempt to make them. Lol
Omg!! This is my go-to greens recipe. What I was doing before tasted like seasoned grass! Before I was the bringer of drinks and paper products for family functions. Now…you can’t tell me I’m not a cook. Will be adding your cooking book to my stash!!!
Yummy delicious this will definitely be on my Thanksgiving table thanks cousin for a great recipe
You are an inspiration to me.
I can’t wait to try this recipe this holiday season…and hopefully while using your seasonings
Hi, I’m so excited to have a chance at winning some seasoning. Happy early Thanksgiving.
Just yuuuuuuuum! Mout is watering, just reading the recipe
I’m only 24 years old and have been asked to make majority of the dishes at my family’s thanksgiving dinner this year. It’s all thanks to the recipes on your blog ESPECIALLY this greens recipe. It is amazing, so simple but packed with flavor. Everytime I make this dish I get praises! Even my grandmother loves telling me how delicious it is and she is the hard to please self proclaimed green queen hah!
These are absolutely wonderful greens!
Wheeew baby I love a good pot of greens!
It’s been years since I had greens. I’ve never made them because I had no idea how or what seasonings to use. If I had your greens seasonings I would darn well attempt to make them. Lol
I haven’t tried thus recipe yet, but I can’t wait to for Thanksgiving. Would it be okay to use greens in a bag that are already clean instead of using the ones out of produce? I will follow the rest of the recipe to the T. I just get lazy cleaning greens sometimes. Also would it be okay to use smoked turkey instead of bacon? Thanks again for your amazing recipes.
I’m going to try this recipe for Thanksgiving this year. It looks and sounds delicious .
Looks completely delicious and easy to make.
Hey cousin! I wanna use your seasonings, help me out.
Ooohhh I’m gonna need to try this soon. I sadly just got into greens this time last year. I’ve got some in my fridge now ready to be cooked.
These greens look soo delicious. I gotta get my hands on that greens seasoning. Tryna work smarter not harder:

Using this recipe for Turkey day this year!
Looks so good! I’m going to have to try it for Thanksgiving. My mom’s greens are good but I think using this recipe will blow her away. I know your recipe only uses 1 jalapeño but does using just that one make it really spicy?
I cook mines with turkey tails will be cooking some this Thanksgiving Thanks for sharing
These look so good! I’m going to try to make them for Christmas. My mom makes greens that are really good but using your recipe will probably blow her away. I know your recipe only calls for one jalapeño does that one jalapeño make it really spicy?
I made greens for the first time about a month ago…and gues who’s recipe I used??? That’s right, yours! And guess what? They were soooo good!! I’m very new to cooking. Thank you for sharing your recipes! Now, send me my greens seasoning! This is a true story though.

Listen, 25 years experimenting trying to get the husbands grandma’s greens or as close as I could and this here recipe has been IT fir the last 8! And your greens seasoning can be used on all green vegetables, it’s amazing.
When I make my greens I add a little bit of crushed red pepper and no vinegar. Let me tell you…fiyah! I also use smoked ham hocks. I have used a bouillon cube to season as well. So delicious! Thank you for this recipe. I may have to try the vinegar.
This is the recipe I didn’t know I needed. Can’t wait to try it for Thanksgiving!
Made your collard greens and smoked turkey dressing. My family and I loved it!!!

I’m going to have to try this because I can’t make greens to save my life.
Hey Rosie I’m a big fan I love to cook and I love my greens but I can’t seem to get the right taste when I do make them can you please help me out I would love to try your collard green seasoning please
I would LOVE to win your greens seasoning!!! Using just one blend to season the dish would be SOOO much easier than the traditional way of making greens.
Love greens ❤❤ pick me
I’ve been a silent follower for years and have searched your website too many times to count. Thank you for providing recipes for us!
I love this recipe!
Cannot wait to try this recipe for Thanksgiving!
I’m still perfecting my greens. I love to make them though. Gonna try this recipe.
I used your Greens Seasoning in my greenbeans and they was Slap Your Mamma GOOD (don’t slap your mamma). So you can definitely use it on many things.
Scrolled all the way down just to say COUSIN WE LOVE YOU!! INSPIRING my hands this cooking season.
Hey Cousin Rosie, I’ve been following you for quite some time! I also follow Tabitha Brown. I can’t seem to get her “sunshine seasoning” as it it sold out, just as some of yours has…hoping to get some Rosa Mae seasoning for my Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners!
I’m going to try this recipe for thanksgiving. We love greens!
Love your personality and recipes! Maybe my mom will let me bring the Greens to thanksgiving if I use your seasoning
This recipe is definitely a keeper! My greens have never been tasty, using your recipe is a game changer. I still have to order your seasoning, but following your recipe makes the absolute best! Better than any that I have ordered in restaurants also. Thank you!!!
I come to iheartrecipes for all my recipes. I love the greens, but could never get the quite right. Now that I have this recipe with the RosaMae greens seasoning my greens are perfect every time.
I’d give this ten ‘s if I could.
This is a great greens recipe
I love greens!!
Hey Cousin Rosie. I would love to try your collard greens seasoning this holiday season…. Love your videos..
I am not a big fan of greens, but made them for my family. They absolutely loved them! These greens have definitely been added to my cooking repertoire! Thanks, Rosie! Between this and your cheesecake recipe, I’m winning!
Oh, your greens looks delicious collard greens are my favorite
I can’t wait to try this recipe.
So glad I found your blog & I now follow you on FB & IG
I’ve never had collards with bacon before. My mom always used ham hock, and now my sisters use smoked turkey wings. I might have to give this recipe a try.
Can’t wait to try this with the greens seasonings
Don’t know how I’m stumbled upon your page,
sometime ago, glad I did. You bond with your

jokes and clap backs.
My favorite recipes of yours, I’ve made so far is the Mac n cheese, sweet potatoes, cornbread and turkey legs.
Keep it coming.
Collards are my absolute favorite dish and the potlikker after oh my goodness. Cant wait to try other recipes of yours.
Just like my Momma used to make her greens, can’t wait to try your recipe..
Sitting here eating your soulfood Mac & Cheese (tonight was my first time making it) and now all I can think is how perfect these greens would be on my plate! I have some Georgia collards and Champion collards growing outside, and now I think I’ll be using them to try this recipe for Thanksgiving this month.
This is one of my favs to cook. Simple and delicious just like I love it
Can’t wait to try your recipe. Thanks for all the great work you’re doing.
Hello Cousin, I made greens last week but would love to try the seasoning to see if it’s more like my mom use to make
I hope I win. My greens are always Blah !
I would LOVE to win some of the greens seasoning!!!

The recipes are good as they are but are even better when using greens seasoning. Everything is easier with good recipes and tasty greens seasoning!!
I love jalepenos but never thought about putting them in my collards. I can’t wait to try this recipe for Thanksgiving. Thank you Cousin Rosie for making Southern cooking easy.
I’ve tried a number of your recipes cuzzo and they are all the BOMB! Thank you! BTW my birthday is 11/11…double nickels is leaving the building soon
Love this recipe. Reminds me of my grandmother’s greens. Look forward to making this year! Made them with the friend chicken recipe. So good!
Thanks for sharing your recipe never made homemade greens yet and I want to try this looks amazing!!!
Looks great! Can’t wait to try!
I’ve tried this recipe once and now its the only way I fix my greens. My family loves them.
This is so easy now with the Greens seasoning! All the work done for you..
I love all your recipes
Your recipes are always on point, easy to follow, practical and delicious. Thank you so much!
Rosie, I just started cooking collards this year… I love CABBAGE! Therefore, I never really ate them… didn’t really care for them. This year I decided I wanted to learn how to cook them so I tried your recipe. Now…. I am a collard greens pro!! Seriously, I get compliments on them and I have even started freezing them! Never would have “thunk” it! Cabbage is still my fave but your collards are a close second!! Thanks for sharing your awesome recipe!
I love your energy and passion ❤️. Have never tried the seasonings but your recipe is banging. Thank you so much for your help becoming a better cook.
Rosie, I’ve tried several of your recipes and they are always on point. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes and knowledge!
I would love to try this recipe with your seasoning!!!U got me cooking made your chicken enchiladas and it’s been on since then made your dressing last year family was like that was hella good…
I’d love to try the collard greens seasoning. Bet it would be a wonderful replacement for my mrs dash
This has brought back so many childhood memories of cooking with my grandmother in the kitchen…I’m going make that peach cobbler this year by myself. All your recipes look so tasty. Thanks for sharing
Just might make these today.
Can’t wait to try this recipe. Grabbing ingredients this weekend. Only thing missing from the list is your wonderful seasonings!
I’ve heard such great things about your collard green seasoning, but have never tried it. I would greatly appreciate this opportunity to try the amazingness that my greens are evidently missing. Thanks in advance
I made these and my husband swears these greens taste better than his big mamas lol
I got a taste for some greens
Love your Blogs! I can really use the green seasoning. I hope I can win .
I never win anything this would be a blessing to me
Nothing like a good bowl of greens ☺️
I will try your recipe
My Mom died when I was 26. This recipe reminds me of her greens – adding the pepper! My husband doesn’t like the heat but the kids & I do. Dang Cousin, will I have to make 2 pots???
I look forward to trying your seasonings.
Looks and sounds great. Similar to what I’ve always done, but I will try your recipe this holiday season. Hope to win your Greens seasoning to spice things up!
Cannot wait to try this recipe! Looks yummy!!
I never thought of using a jalapeño but it sounds yummy!
Seasoni9 taste so gooood, make ya wanna your mama
This looks so good! I have got to make this, soon!
My daddy used to make greens every week. His saying was “I could eat greens coming and going.” When I left home for the military, your recipe helped me get a taste of home. Mine may never be as good as his, but that’s ok. I look forward to visiting home every year.
I’ve never cooked greens myself. I only have at one restaurant. This is definitely must try based on the reviews!
Rosie I have been following you for years. I feel I’m your #1 fan. I get so excited when I reach out to you on social media and you respond back. I hit you up a few years back and asked, “can you make a greens/cabbage mix video?” And you responded and made one! I feel that I’m deserving of the seasonings box so that I can continue to cook your recipes but also have that last, “Rosie touch” to set the dish off. To date I’ve made your Mac and cheese, oxtails, greens, cabbage, greens & cabbage mix, BBQ ribs, pot roast, best ever meat loaf,, green beans in the slow cooker and a this weekend I plan on making your spinach artichoke dip. (Can we get a updated video on that recipe? you have made cooking so easy and fun for me. Thanks for everything. You are, “THE BOMB DOT COM”
Your number 1 fan

I love all of your seasonings so much but the greens seasoning is a very welcome addition to my cooking repertoire. Thank you for adding the spice of life to all of my cooking. I am not the best in the kitchen but ingredients like this line of seasonings definitely improves the end result for me when I make food to not only nourish the body but to nourish the souls of the ones I love the most.

I hate that my Grandma and my Mom aren’t here to answer my cooking questions. After using this recipe, I don’t need to ask anyone anything! My 4 year old won’t eat anything else if I make these greens. Sometimes I use red pepper flakes instead of jalapeños but thas the only change. I really need some of your Greens seasoning Cousin to set these greens right off!
