Tasty mustard greens are made with frozen mustard greens. Use less bacon and add some leftover diced ham, if you'd like to have the smoked ham flavor.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 10 to 12 slices bacon, diced
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 16 ounces frozen mustard greens
  • water
  • diced cooked ham, optional
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, seasoned salt, or salt, or to taste
  • dash red pepper, optional
  • dash black pepper, to taste
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons butter

PREPARATION:

Cook bacon just until almost crisp; add onion and sauté until onion is tender and bacon is crisp.

Put chopped mustard greens in a medium saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes. Add bacon and onion, along with ham, if using. Toss with seasonings and butter to taste.
Serves 4 to 6.
