Kale with Bacon
The hearty bacon flavor in this side dish makes you forget that you're eating right. Seasoned with garlic, it's a great way to enjoy vitamin-rich kale. —Margaret Allen, Abingdon, Virginia

My family loved it! We used Costco Turkey bacon and about a tablespoon of olive oil in place of the bacon grease! We also used purple kale and green kale and a whole medium onion. Amazing, this will he a regular dish for us. Thank you for the ideas!
Excellent recipe. Easy and tasty. Cooking the bacon and the kale separately avoid over or under cooking either one.
Who isn't going to like anything with bacon? This was a home-run with everyone in my family. I used 1/2 of an onion as that was all I had. I also cooked the kale in beef broth. Used probably too much of the bacon grease, will back off a little next time. Great flavor. Will definitely make this again.
Great recipe! The bacon even tempted two male veggie haters to eat kale. I used two small bunches of kale and six strips of bacon (which was more than enough bacon). I also used olive oil to cook the onions and garlic, since I don't use bacon drippings.
My new favorite Kale recipe!
Fantastic recipe! I used more drippings and a few more strips of bacon. YUM!
I liked this recipe. I followed the recipe exactly.
I made this dish and it was very good. I cooked the kale in veggie stock not water.
I added a little balsamic vinegar and it sure was great.
