Sauteed Cabbage with Bacon & Onions

You know what they say right? EVERYTHING is better with BACON. With the holidays coming up we can all use an extra serving of vegetables and what better way to get them in than sauteed cabbage with some bacon and onions for added flavor. Serve this at your Thanksgiving Meal (or you can swap Brussells Sprouts for the Cabbage!) and feel a little bit better about that slice of pie for dessert :)



Sauteed Cabbage with Bacon & Onions: Serves 4-6

1 Head of Green Cabbage - Sliced
4 Slices of Bacon
1 Onion - Diced
1tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper

Cut your bacon into half inch pieces and place in a large saute pan or pot over medium heat. Cook until crisp. Remove to a plate on a paper towel. Drain the excess fat from the pan but do not clean the pan. Return the pan to the heat and add the oil, onions and cabbage with some salt and pepper and stir. Cover with a lid and let it cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring every few minutes. Remove the lid, toss and cook uncovered for another 15-20 minutes allowing the cabbage to slowly caramelize, stir every 3-5 minutes. Add the bacon back to the pan and in the last 5 minutes then remove from the heat and serve.
