Equipment
- Large skillet
Ingredients
- 12 ounces bacon
- 1 head cabbage (cored and chopped, approximately 6 cups)
- 1 onion (chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Saute bacon in 12" skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Remove from skillet, leaving drippings.
- Add cabbage, onion, garlic, vinegar, sugar, black pepper and salt to the bacon drippings and saute on medium heat for 25 minutes, or until cabbage and onions are tender. Stir frequently.
- While cabbage is cooking chop or crumble bacon.
- Add crumbled bacon to the sauteed cabbage when it has finished cooking. Toss to combine and serve.
Notes
Leaving bacon in with the cabbage and onion while they cook will cause the bacon to get soggy, so it is best to add it back in with everything at the end.
