This was sooo good, yum bacon makes it awesome! The only thing I did different was instead of chopping the bacon first, I cooked it then crumbled it afterwards before adding it back. The sugar gives it the perfect sweetness.

Made this for my "Southern Boy" exactly as written. I had to cook it a bit longer than the recipe suggest, as SB likes it that way. I, on the other hand, had never fried cabbage, nor tasted fried cabbage, and I was very pleased with the results. SB said, "This is the best fried cabbage I've ever had!"
