Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 lb. beet greens
1 strip of thick cut bacon, chopped (or a tablespoon of bacon fat)
1/4 c. chopped onion
1 large garlic clove, minced
3/4 c. of water
1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
3 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
Directions:
Directions:
1. Rinse the beet greens in a sink filled with cold water. Drain greens and rinse a second time. Drain greens and cut away any heavy stems. Cut leaves into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
2. In a large skillet or 3-qt saucepan, cook bacon until lightly browned on medium heat (or heat 1 Tbsp of bacon fat). Add onions, cook over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions soften and start to brown. Stir in garlic, cook a minute more.
3. Add water to the hot pan, stirring to loosen any particles from bottom of pan. Stir in sugar and red pepper flakes. Bring mixture to a boil.
4. Add the beet greens, gently toss in the onion mixture so the greens are well coated. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 5-15 minutes until the greens are tender. Stir in the vinegar. (For kale or collard greens continue cooking additional 20 to 25 minutes or until desired tenderness.)
