FRIED CABBAGE WITH BACON, ONION, AND GARLIC

This fried cabbage with bacon is a family favorite that is put into every cookbook for my kids when they move out and get married. It is a beautiful dish with many colors and full of flavor. Warning, it is addictive.

Ingredients

• 6 slices bacon, chopped
• 1 large onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 large head cabbage, cored and sliced
• 1 tablespoon salt, or to taste
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/8 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Place the bacon in a large stockpot and cook over medium-high heat until crispy, about 10 minutes. Add the onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion caramelizes; about 10 minutes. Immediately stir in the cabbage and continue to cook and stir another 10 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes more.
