Fried Cabbage with Bacon
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Bacon | 6 slices, chopped |
| Onion | 1 large, diced |
| Garlic | 2 cloves, minced |
| Cabbage | 1 large head, cored and sliced |
| Salt | 1 tablespoon, or to taste |
| Black pepper | 1 teaspoon |
| Onion powder | ½ teaspoon |
| Garlic powder | ½ teaspoon |
| Paprika | ⅛ teaspoon |
Instructions
1. Cook the bacon
Place the chopped bacon in a large pot or deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat until crispy, about 10 minutes.
2. Add onion and garlic
Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften and begin to caramelize, about 10 minutes.
3. Add the cabbage
Add the sliced cabbage to the pot and cook while stirring for about 10 minutes, letting it start to soften.
4. Season the mixture
Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir thoroughly so the seasonings coat everything evenly.
5. Let it simmer
Lower the heat, cover the pot, and allow the mixture to cook gently for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally until the cabbage becomes tender and full of flavor.
