Fried Cabbage with Bacon, Onion, and Garlic - A Delicious Side

In my search for an easy recipe to use some leftover cabbage, I came across this keeper on allrecipes.com (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/fried-cabbage-with-bacon-onion-and-garlic/). It does take about and hour and a quarter to prepare and cook. It serves six, but it was so good that I ate a couple of servings.


Ingredients


6 slices bacon, chopped
1 large onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large head cabbage, cored and sliced (My leftover cabbage was only about 2/3 of a head. That worked fine.)
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 - 9-10 minutes. (At this point, I removed the bacon, although that step is not included in the original recipe.)
- 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. At this point, I put the bacon back in the pot. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes more.
