Bacon Fried Cabbage

This one is a family favorite!

You will need:

A head of cabbage, any kind you like
A pound of bacon, sliced
Salt n Pepper to taste
Garlic powder or minced fresh garlic

First, cut the cabbage head in half and remove the core.
Slice the cabbage into strips about one inch wide.
Cut the cabbage strips into squares by cutting across the strips.
Set aside.

In the largest pot with a lid, fry each piece of bacon until crispy; reserve the fat.
Drain the bacon on paper towels.

Pour the cabbage into the pan and stir it to coat the cabbage with bacon fat.
Fry, stirring occasionally. As the cabbage cooks it will wilt.
Toss in the garlic - if fresh it shouldn't cook too long or it gets bitter.
Chop bacon into small pieces.
When all the cabbage has been fried, turn burner off.

Dish the cabbage into plates or large bowels, and top each bowl with the crispy bacon crumbs.

Serve with hot rolls or biscuits.
Serves 4-6; four if people love it, six if they don't.
Try to serve with bright colors of foods, so the meal looks enticing.

Mmmmmmm! Enjoy!
