Ingredients

1 pound bacon diced ( I used thick-cut)
1 head of cabbage cored.
1 small onion diced
1 clove garlic minced (optional)
Salt and Pepper

Instructions

In a skillet on the stove, you want to dice your bacon into small pieces. Cook it on medium heat in a skillet. Cook until the bacon is fully cooked. Then remove bacon and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
Leave the bacon grease in the pan. Toss in your diced onion and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Then toss in your chopped cabbage. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook the cabbage for 5-7 minutes or until it reaches your desired texture.
When the cabbage is done, toss the bacon back in and stir. Then serve up the fried cabbage as a side dish or pair with butter as a main dish.

Notes

Meat - You can swap bacon with ham, Kielbasa, etc. Or make it meatless if you want.

Bacon Grease - If you want to remove the bacon grease you can add swap with a tablespoon of oil. It can make the fried cabbage a bit healthier.

Storage - Store leftover fried cabbage in the refrigerator in a container.

You can freeze leftover cabbage and bacon. Store in the freezer for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge the night before. The cabbage will be softer in texture.
