Directions
- Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, 8 to 10 minutes.

Quick Tip
Cooking mustard greens for long periods of time helps tame some of their bitterness. If you like greens with a little bite,
reserve half the greens and add them during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
