Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 30-40 minutes, or until the greens are tender and have reached your desired level of doneness. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of apple cider vinegar during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
Adjust the amount of liquid smoke to your preference; start with 1 tablespoon and add more to taste.
If using tougher greens like kale, you may need to increase the cooking time.
These collard greens are even more flavorful the next day!
