1 14 oz can Greens (doesn't need to be cooked) drained and squeezed thoroughly to remove liquid. You can use 1 1/2 to 2 cups of your leftover cooked greens.
1/4 to 1/2 cup Roasted Red Peppers, diced
1/4 cup Onion, minced
2 slices Bacon,cooked and crumbled (Do not crisp!)
1/2 to 3/4 cup Pepper Jack Cheese, grated
Salt, Pepper, Hot Pepper Sauce, optional (Use whatever you use to season greens if they aren't already seasoned & Season to taste)
1 to 2 cups prepared Cornbread Stuffing Mix, may substitute cooked and crumbled cornbread
3 Eggs, beaten
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease cookie sheet.
Drain canned greens and squeeze until the liquid no longer comes out.
Mix greens, diced red pepper (amount you like), onions, bacon, pepper jack cheese (amount you like). Taste and then season with salt, pepper and/or hot pepper sauce, optional, to taste.
Add 1 cup prepared cornbread stuffing mix, or crumbled cornbread, and beaten eggs. Add more cornbread stuffing mix or cornbread, as needed to make a mixture that is still a little moist.
Roll into walnut size balls (they should be moist), and place on a greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes. Turn pan around and cook another 5 -10 minutes.
Bites should be firm, with a tiny give when done. Adjust time accordingly.
(Cook's note: I like a lot of pepper and also add crushed red pepper flakes to give it that extra kick!)
