These Collard Greens are amazing. They were a real crowd-pleaser. They are cooked in an Instant Pot, starting browning the bacon until almost crisp and then stir-fried until the onions are opaque. The collards are added one bag at a time to allow them to shrink down, so the other bag will fit. Chicken broth is poured over the collards in place of water to add extra flavor. They are then cooked using the slow cooker settings to blend all the flavors.
