Slow Cooker Mustard Greens
The easiest possible way to get maximum flavor from a pot of Southern Style greens with minimum effort, is to take some help from your slow cooker. Garlic, vinegar, crushed chili flakes, smoked turkey legs (or a ham hock), and some chicken stock combine to ensure you get the best flavor ever.Â
