Delicious Fried Cabbage

Ingredients:

• 6 slices bacon, chopped
• 1 large onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 large head cabbage, cored and sliced
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional: red pepper flakes for a bit of heat

Instructions:

1. Cook the Bacon:
   • In a large skillet or frying pan, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon pieces with a slotted spoon and set them aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Leave the bacon grease in the skillet.
2. Sauté the Onion and Garlic:
   • Add the diced onion to the skillet with the bacon grease. Sauté over medium heat until the onion is translucent and slightly browned, about 5 minutes.
   • Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
3. Cook the Cabbage:
   • Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet. Stir to coat the cabbage in the bacon grease and mix it with the onions and garlic.
   • Cook the cabbage, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender and slightly caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. You can cover the skillet with a lid to help the cabbage soften more quickly.
4. Season and Serve:
   • Season the cabbage with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to taste.
   • Stir in the cooked bacon pieces. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
5. Serve:
   • Transfer the fried cabbage to a serving dish and enjoy as a delicious side dish or even a main course!
