My Grandmother's Cabbage and Noodles
Description
A vintage recipe for cabbage and noodles adds bacon for a savory flavor.
Ingredients
•
3 cups water
•
2 tablespoons butter
•
1 (12 ounce) package bacon, chopped
•
1 head cabbage, cored and chopped
•
1 (8 ounce) package egg noodles
•
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
1
Place water and butter in a large, deep skillet and bring to a boil; stir in bacon and return to a boil.
2
Stir cabbage into the bacon mixture; simmer until the thickest pieces of cabbage are fork-tender and the liquid has almost evaporated, about 20 minutes. Drain.
3
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in egg noodles and return to a boil. Cook noodles uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender but still slightly firm, about 5 minutes. Drain well.
4
Lightly toss egg noodles with bacon and cabbage; season to taste with salt and black pepper.
