Description

Ingredients
•
1 (1 pound) package bacon, finely chopped
•
1 teaspoon olive oil
•
1 medium onion, chopped
•
2 cloves garlic, minced
•
2 pounds diced cabbage
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Directions
1
Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crispy, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and remove most of the bacon grease from the skillet.
2
Add oil to the skillet and heat over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add cabbage, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until cabbage is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. If you prefer softer cabbage, cover the skillet while cooking to give it some steam.
3
Crumble bacon into the skillet and mix with the cabbage until well combined.
