This recipe for fried cabbage with bacon is a simple and flavorful side dish. The cabbage is cooked until tender and slightly caramelized, and the bacon adds a smoky, salty flavor. It's a perfect accompaniment to any meal.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving the bacon grease in the skillet.
Add the onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and slightly caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. If the cabbage starts to stick, add a splash of chicken broth.
Stir in the cooked bacon, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute to heat through.
Serve immediately.
