Ingredients
- 1/2 pound Bacon , cut into 1 inch slices
- 1/2 white onion , diced
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 head green cabbage , center removed and cut into 2-3 inch pieces
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cooked cut bacon until just crispy. Drain and set aside, reserving 1 tablespoon rendered bacon grease.
- Add onion to the still hot bacon grease, saute over medium heat until it starts to soften, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in sugar, Kosher salt and ground pepper, cooking for an additional minute.
- Add cut cabbage. I find it easier to toss using tongs instead of as spoon. Toss over medium heat until leaves start to wilt, but still have some snap.
- Add bacon back into the mixture and serve.
