Combine with applewood-smoked bacon strips and crown with a helping of Sargento® Shredded 4 State Cheddar® Cheese that melts perfectly on top.
Ingredients
- 2 strips thick sliced applewood smoked bacon, cut crosswise into thin strips

Stir in remaining kale, salt and pepper; cover and cook 2 minutes or until wilted. Uncover; stir in apple and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until kale is tender and apple is heated through.
