Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Wash the cabbage and collard greens thoroughly. Core the cabbage and slice it; remove the ribs from the collard greens and chop the leaves.
-
Step 2.
Place a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon browns slightly, 4 to 5 minutes.
-
Step 3.
Add the diced onion and diced red bell pepper to the pot. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften, about 2 minutes.
-
Step 4.
Fold in the sliced cabbage and chopped collard greens. Add 1½ cups water, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 2 teaspoons seasoning salt, 1½ teaspoons coarse black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes (if using). Stir everything together well.
-
Step 5.
Reduce the heat to medium, cover the pot, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage and collards are tender, about 45 minutes.
