Make sure that you wash the cabbage & collard greens before anything else. Then cut and slice.

Place a large pot over medium high heat, then toss in the sliced bacon.

Cook the bacon until it browns a bit, then toss in the onions, and the red bell peppers.

Once the onions and bell peppers start to soften, start adding in the sliced cabbage, and collard greens.

Fold the ingredients, and once all the cabbage and collards are in the pot, toss in the minced garlic.

Pour 1 1/2 cup water, then sprinkle in some seasoning salt, and black pepper. Give everything a nice stir.

Reduce the heat to medium, and cook for about 45 or until cabbage and collard greens are nice and tender.
