  4. Drain off excess grease.
  5. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes.
  7. Add 1 (15 ounce) can of your favorite beans (kidney, pinto, or black beans), drained and rinsed, 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped collard greens (or other greens like spinach or kale), 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  8. Stir to combine thoroughly.
  9. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  10. Cover the baking dish with foil.
