Slow-Cooker Collard Greens with Ham Hocks

Ingredients

2 smoked ham hocks (1 1⁄4 lb. total)
2 (14-oz.) cans chicken broth
2 (1-lb.) pkg. prewashed chopped fresh collard greens
½ cup chopped sweet onion (from 1 onion)
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
½ teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a 6-quart oval slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW 9 hours. Carefully remove ham hocks and all bits of bone before stirring greens after cooking. Cool ham hocks, and thoroughly remove all fat and bone; return meat to slow cooker. Stir into greens, and serve.

Tips

Make It Ahead: You can make the collard greens up to 2 days in advance. Refrigerate them in the slow-cooker insert. Allow the insert to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before returning it to the slow cooker to reheat the greens. (Immediately heating a chilled insert could cause it to crack.)
