Brown sugar provides sweetness at a lower cost.

Rinse the smoked pigtails to remove excess salt.

Fill a pot with water and add the rinsed pigtails, boiling for 45 minutes to an hour until tender.

Wash the pre-cut collard greens thoroughly to remove any bugs or dead leaves, repeating the rinse if necessary.

After boiling, add one chicken bouillon and one tablespoon of beef bouillon to the pot with the pigtails.

Add a tablespoon of brown sugar, a tablespoon and a half of apple cider vinegar, and seasonings (onion powder, slap your mama seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper) to the pot.

Add three dabs of hot sauce to the mixture.

Layer half of the collard greens into the pot, followed by chopped onions and bell peppers, then add the remaining collard greens on top.

Stir gently to combine the ingredients, ensuring the greens are submerged.
