Instructions

- Scoop your rendered bacon (and onions if you cooked them with the bacon) into the bottom of your slower cooker. Add the rest of the ingredients in order into your slow cooker.1 large yellow onion, diced, 16 oz chopped collard greens, 1 large ham hock, 16 cups chicken stock*, 3 cloves minced garlic, 6 oz diced ham, 2 Tbsp raw apple cider vinegar, 1 Tbsp sugar, dash salt & pepper
