Directions: |
Directions:Fill a 1/3 of a large pot with water. Add collards, they will likely fill to the the top of the pot. Cook on medium heat until tender. Add a little salt, 1/3 c sugar, and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes as they start cooking down. Total cook time will be approximately 2 hours.
In a small frying pan on low/medium heat add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and sauté thinly sliced onions, adding a little salt and pepper, stir occasionally and cook for about 15 minutes until brown and caramelized.
Drain collards in a colander and dump back in the pot. Add softened cream cheese, caramelized onions, 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, 2 cups shredded cheese, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Stir well over low/medium heat until creamy. Place in a greased casserole dish. Bake at 350º for about 30 minutes. Remove and follow topping instructions and place back for another 10 minutes until bubbly and lightly browned.
Topping: Preheat oven to 350º. Bake canned biscuits according to directions. Break into pieces about 1/3 of the baked biscuits. (Save other biscuits to eat) Sprinkle biscuit topping pieces over casserole and drizzle with honey.
