Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 slice uncooked bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 small onion, chopped
1 small head of cabbage, cored and chopped into bite sized pieces - may use half of a large cabbage for lack of a smaller head of cabbage
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 c water (to help steam the cabbage)

Steps:

  • 1. In a skillet, fry the bacon pieces and chopped onion together until the bacon is cooked and the onion is starting to brown. Do not drain bacon drippings.
  • 2. Add the cabbage and stir fry for several minutes, until the cabbage is coated with the drippings. Add 1/2 Cup of water and cover for a few minutes at medium heat. Uncover and stir frequently, replacing the cover each time. Reduce heat to med-low, cover and let cook about 20 to 30 more minutes, stirring occasionally until the cabbage is tender.
  • 3. Season with salt and pepper to your taste. Serve hot.
