Servings: 6

Ingredients

Bacon
6 slices, chopped
Onion
1 medium, sliced
Cabbage
1 medium head, shredded
Chicken broth
1 cup
Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon
Salt
1 teaspoon
Paprika
1 teaspoon
Garlic powder
1 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the delicious bacon grease in the skillet.
  2. Add the sliced onion to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, or until softened and lightly browned, absorbing the rich flavors left by the bacon.
  3. Stir in the shredded cabbage, mixing well with the onions. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and has started to caramelize.
  4. Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the cabbage. Stir to evenly coat the cabbage with the spices, infusing it with flavor.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth, stirring to combine. This will add moisture and depth to the dish. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cabbage reaches your desired tenderness.
  6. Finally, sprinkle the reserved crispy bacon over the top of the fried cabbage and serve hot, allowing the flavors to meld together.
