FRIED CABBAGE AND BACON RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Add bacon, in one layer, to a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until the fat renders and the bacon is crispy; 6 to 8 minutes. Take the pan off of the heat, and then use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a bowl and save for later.
• Remove all the bacon fat from the pan except for one tablespoon. (Leave more or less, depending on your preference. One tablespoon tastes great, but doesn’t make the cabbage greasy.)
• Place the pan back onto medium-high heat then add the cabbage, garlic, red pepper flakes, and the salt. It might seem like too much cabbage for the pan, but as it cooks, the cabbage will wilt down.
• Cook, occasionally stirring until the cabbage is tender and some of the cabbage begins to turn light brown; 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the mustard, apple cider vinegar, and the reserved cooked bacon. Taste then adjust with more salt, pepper, and vinegar as needed.

Steps:

• Cut the cabbage into quarters. Remove any wilted or discolored outer leaves. Cut out the core from the cabbge quarters. Cut into large 1-inch dice.
• Cook the bacon and onion in a 4-quart pan over medium heat until bacon is crisp, and the onion is wilted.
• Remove the bacon and onion to paper towels to drain. There should be about 1/2 cup of bacon drippings in the pan.
• Add the cabbage to these drippings and cook without stirring until it begins to brown, about 3 minutes.
• Add the water, sugar, salt and pepper and cook until the cabbage is tender, about 20 minutes.
• Crumble the cooked bacon into the cabbage and serve hot.
