BACON FRIED CABBAGE

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, cooked cut bacon until just crispy. Drain and set aside, reserving 1 tablespoon rendered bacon grease.
• Add onion to the still hot bacon grease, saute over medium heat until it starts to soften, approximately 4-5 minutes.
• Stir in sugar, Kosher salt and ground pepper, cooking for an additional minute.
• Add cut cabbage. I find it easier to toss using tongs instead of as spoon. Toss over medium heat until leaves start to wilt, but still have some snap.
• Add bacon back into the mixture and serve.
