SOUTHERN BACON-FRIED CABBAGE

Ahhh, the South. What do we do to healthy veggies? Add bacon, of course. Don’t knock it til you tried it. Shut up, Cholesterol, you’re fine.

SOUTHERN BACON-FRIED CABBAGE

• 6 slices bacon, chopped
• 1 cup onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 large head cabbage, cored and chopped
• 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cook the bacon in a jumbo cooker over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease and discard the rest.
2. In the same jumbo cooker, return the 2 tablespoons bacon grease. Over medium-high heat, cook the onion until it is soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook for an additional 1 minute. Stir in the cabbage and continue to cook and stir for 4-5 minutes. Add the seasoned salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder. Mix well.
3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and allow to simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes.
4. Just before serving, mix the bacon into the cooked cabbage. Serve immediately.
