How to Make It
Step 1
Lay the strips of bacon down in a wide pot (a pot will be best for holding the kale later) on high heat. Cook the bacon through until very crispy. Then, set aside to cool.
Step 2
Leave the bacon grease in the pot and turn the heat down to a medium-low. Chop your kale if it’s not chopped already, and place it in the pot. Cook the kale down until it’s very wilted and retaining crispy edges – about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Chop the cooled bacon into bits and stir it into the crispy kale. Serve warm with your main dish.
