Southern Fried Cabbage

1 large head of cabbage roughly chopped

8 slices thick cut bacon diced

1 yellow onion {I like Vidalia} diced

2 T. butter optional

salt and black pepper to taste

 

Add diced bacon to a large sauté pan and cook over medium heat until crispy. Do not drain. Add onions and cook until softened and browned, about 5 minutes. Add cabbage, half at a time if you need to, and mix with the bacon and onions. Cook until it is softened. If you want to add even more flavor add a couple T. of butter and stir until combined. Season with salt and black pepper.
