Pan Fried Cabbage


If you don’t like cabbage this is a great way to eat it. Not only is it super easy, practically fail proof the flavor is really great. Simple, and excellent what more do you need? I am not much of a cabbage person, but my husband is so I am always looking for ways to make it eatable for me. This recipe is one of my favorites!


Ingredients:
  • 8 oz of bagged cabbage (coleslaw is what I use then you get carrots too)
  • 4 ounces of bacon
  • Salt (if desired)
  • 1 onion

Directions:

  1. Thinly slice 4 ounces of bacon. It’s easy to slice when it’s partially frozen, and on a medium high heat begin to pan fry the bacon.
  2. When the bacon is cooked through, but not crispy add thinly sliced onion once the onion is cooked add 8 ounces of bagged cabbage. Mix all together
  3. Cooked until cabbage becomes limp.
