Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb thick cut bacon cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 medium sweet onion i.e. Vidalia or similar diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 tsp fennel seed optional
  • 1 3 lb green cabbage washed, cored and chopped
  • 1 tsp salt may adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes may adjust to taste
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • In a large skillet or dutch oven cook bacon over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain using a slotted spoon, reserving 4 Tbsp drippings in skillet.
  • To the drippings add onion. Saute over medium-high for 3 minutes or until beginning to brown then add garlic and fennel seed, if using. Saute for 1 minute.
  • Add cabbage to skillet. The skillet will be full but, the cabbage will shrink as it cooks. Once it begins to shrink, add salt, onion powder, granulated garlic, pepper flakes and black pepper. Mix well.
