Fried Cabbage

 

5 slices of bacon
3/4 of a medium ( about 2 lbs) head of
cabbage, cored and cut into chunks or shredded
salt and pepper to taste
2 T butter or more


In a large heavy skillet with a lid fry the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon to paper towels, crumble and set aside. In the pan with bacon grease add the cabbage.
 Add the salt and pepper. Place lid on the pot and reduce the heat to low. Allow the cabbage to cook for 10 minutes until it is to your liking. ( I like mine tender).
Remove the pot from  the heat. Add butter , stir until melted, and add bacon. Allow to cook a few more minutes if needed. Enjoy!
