FRIED CABBAGE WITH BACON AND ONION

FRIED CABBAGE WITH BACON AND ONION  (variations)

1 lb bacon, finely chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 lbs cabbage, finely diced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Fry bacon until crisp and well browned.
Drain and set aside.
Add chopped onion to the bacon grease and stir until translucent. (after this I dumped the bacon grease and used butter for the next step.
Add cabbage, pepper flakes, salt and pepper, stirring until all cabbage is coated.
Add the crumbled bacon bits and cover.
Cook over low heat until cabbage is tender

* I usually add 2 or 3 pinches of sugar while this is cooking, just helps bring out the flavor even more.

(I added a heaping tsp. of brown sugar)
this dish was absolutely delicious!!!!

1/4/14 today I made this, I ONLY seasoned with GARLIC PEPPER and aabout a quarter cup of tomato relish.  This time I sauteed the cabbage and onions in two tbs. olive oil and the same amount of butter.
