Sauteed Bacon Kale | The BBQ Side Dish You Didn’t Know You Needed!

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: pork belly

Turkey bacon is lower in fat, while pork belly can be cheaper depending on the cut.

Get your pan nice and hot.

Add the bacon to the pan and fry until crispy, rendering as much fat as possible, about 5-7 minutes.

Once the bacon is crispy, scoop it out into a vessel, leaving the grease in the pan.

Wash and cut the kale into small bite-sized pieces beforehand.

Add the kale to the pan little by little, being careful as it may pop.

Cover the pan with a lid to help keep the heat in and let it cook for about 1.5 to 2 minutes.

Remove the lid and stir the kale, noticing the color change to a bright green.

Cover the pan again and let it cook for a few more minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the boar's night out white lightning double garlic butter on top of the kale and cover again for a few more minutes.

After another minute, add the bacon crumbles back into the kale and mix well.

Add a little more of the double garlic butter and cover for one last minute.

Remove from heat, plate the kale, and serve.
