Ingredients
- 12 oz thick cut bacon, pork or turkey bacon, about ½ inch or smaller
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 head of cabbage, cored and cut into 2 inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar, packed
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
Instructions
- In a large cast iron dutch oven or large skillet, cook the bacon until crispy over medium heat for about 12-15 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Or you can easily cook bacon in the oven. L!
- In the same skillet with leftover bacon grease (you can leave all in but I prefer discarding half of it or a little more just to make it a little healthier and enough for bacon to pick up the smoky flavors) add onions and cook until translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Add the chopped cabbage, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, seasoned salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and saute for 7-10 minutes and until cabbage becomes tender.
- Return the crispy bacon back to the pan. Sti in the butter, taste for seasoning and serve while warm.
- Leftover cabbage can be stored in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Reheat on the stove.
