Pretty good. But sauteeing over medium high heat made the garlic burn a little. The greens were still pretty chewy/tough after 20 minutes, so had to cook a bit longer. I also added 1/2 cup beef broth which added to the flavor. Thanks for posting!

Very very good. I like greens the Southern way but it is not very healthy with bacon etc. I am so glad I found this recipe so I can cook for my family. The taste is so simple, fresh, crunchy, tasty and so easy to do... I love it Cookidog and thank you for the recipe.

Oh my! This tastes just like my favorite side dish from a local Rodizio restaurant. I definitely prefer it to the "southern" slow cooked version with bacon etc.( and I love bacon). Next time I will double the recipe because I could just eat that whole thing by myself. Thank you!
