Tasty mustard greens are made with frozen mustard greens. Use less bacon and add some leftover diced ham, if you'd like the smoked ham flavor. Diced hot andouille sausage is great on the greens as well.

Southern greens are traditionally served with hot pepper sauce, which is a combination of small hot peppers and vinegar. If you can't find hot pepper sauce in your market, see the tips for how to make it from scratch.

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

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.
