Instruktioner

Cook bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium, stirring often, until fat is mostly rendered and bacon is almost crisp, about 10 minutes. Add onion, garlic, bay leaves, Creole seasoning, salt, and black pepper; cook over medium, stirring often, until onion slightly softens, about 4 minutes. Add vinegar, hot sauce, and brown sugar; cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves and mixture is syrupy, about 30 seconds.

Add greens in 3 batches, stirring constantly and letting leaves wilt slightly before adding each addition. Stir in stock, and bring to a boil over medium-high. Cover and reduce heat to low; simmer, stirring occasionally, until greens are tender, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Season with salt to taste.
