Fried Cabbage With Onion and Bacon image

I love cabbage! And bacon, and onion, so you will see several recipes sort of alike here. It's such a comfort food for me.Sometimes I'll leave out the bacon and add ground beef. Sometimes I'll add some fresh chopped tomato. Cabbage is like a canvass, you can add things and make it an ever-changing recipe. The times are just a guestimate.
