TURNIP GREENS WITH SMOKED SLAB BACON
Big Bob always had a standing policy at his restaurant that when you were on the clock you ate for free. Some companies give their staff stock options; Big Bob always gave his staff real Southern fixings. Many staples of the staff meals were not offered to the customers and it was not uncommon to walk into his restaurant and smell fried chicken, sweet potatoes, or catfish cooking. Thank God hickory smoke usually trumped any other aroma or Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q might have turned into Big Bob's Southern Kitchen. While turnip greens have never graced the menu at Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q, they were cooked almost as often as any side dish on the menu. Always made with the restaurant's smoked slab bacon, this recipe showcases the simple delight of seasoned greens. Pair them with black-eyed peas, fried potatoes, and cornbread to taste a typical employee meal in Big Bob's kitchen.

Steps:
- Wash the turnip greens in cold water and drain well. Repeat the process twice, making sure all sandy grit is removed from the leaves. Cut off and discard the tough stems and any discolored greens.
- Place the bacon in a medium stockpot with the water. Bring to a boil and cook at a rapid simmer. Gradually add the greens, stirring to wilt before adding another batch, until all the greens are in the pot. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, or until the greens are tender.
- Top each serving of greens with a few dashes of pepper sauce or serve the sauce on the side.
COLLARD GREENS WITH BACON
Good ole country collard greens with bacon and onion. These are so hearty and satisfying, even those who say "I don't like greens" will eat these up! You might even get a "Wow!" after the first bite and a "not at all like I remember them tasting". You can eat them alone but they're best with hot buttered cornbread. Mustard and turnip greens are great this way too. Enjoy!
