Pork and Turnip Greens

Yea, here are some pork and turnip greens for the crockpot...

Pork and Turnip Greens

3 bags frozen turnip/greens with diced turnips
1 bag frozen mustard greens
10 medium turnips
1 lb. bacon, pork steaks, or pork roast
2 cups water
Salt and pepper

Put water in the crock pot to render the fat from the bacon then remove bacon and discard. If you prefer the roast, put in on at night when you go to bed and set temperature on Auto or High. Upon arising, take out the roast to cool and debone. Strain the broth and return to the crock pot. Slice turnips and cook until tender, then mash up while they are still in the broth. Put in the greens and deboned roast and cook until tender and cooked down.
