Ingredients

Bacon
8 slices, chopped
Cabbage
1 medium head, shredded
Onion
1 large, chopped
Garlic
3 cloves, minced
Chicken broth
1 cup
Apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons
Salt
to taste
Pepper
to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
  2. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and toss to combine with the onion and garlic. Cook until the cabbage begins to wilt, about 5 minutes.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and apple cider vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine and ensure the cabbage is evenly coated.
  5. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for 15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and has absorbed the flavors.
  6. Stir in the cooked bacon and heat through for an additional 2 minutes.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with additional pepper if desired, and enjoy the comforting flavors.
