Fried cabbage with bacon

Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.

Sauté Onions: If using, add the sliced onion to the skillet and sauté in the bacon grease until softened.

Add Cabbage: Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet. If needed, add a little olive oil to help it cook. Stir well to coat with the bacon grease.

Cook Until Tender: Cook the cabbage for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s tender and slightly caramelized.

Add Garlic: If using garlic, add it in the last few minutes of cooking to prevent burning.

Season: Stir in the cooked bacon, and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.

Serve: Enjoy it warm as a side dish!
