Mom's Hellfire Greens

1. 1

   Trim the bulky stems from greens, discard.

2. 2

   Chop leaves.

3. 3

   You don't have to cut them down much; greens will cook down to about a quarter of their fresh size.

4. 4

   Set aside while getting ready to prep and cook bacon.

5. 5

   Heat a large pan on stove top.

6. 6

   Chop half a package of bacon.

7. 7

   Add to the pan once it's hot, only cook about half way through.

8. 8

   At that point, add about a quarter cup of water to the pot.

9. 9

   Add greens a handful at a time.

10. 10

    If they don't all fit in your pot, it's okay.

11. 11

    Add what you can, and put a lid on it.

12. 12

    Within a minute or two you'll be able to stir the rest in thanks to the steam.

13. 13

    Add the dry spices.

14. 14

    And don't skimp on the pepper!

15. 15

    ;)

16. 16

    Stir well.

17. 17

    Add more water at your own discretion as time goes by.

18. 18

    I tend to use a grand total of a cup as it cooks.

19. 19

    Don't let the pan burn; steam is key.

20. 20

    Keep on stove top on low-med for at least an hour.
