Monday Night Cabbage, Bacon and Peppers

This is another favorite recipe that my sister and I serve to the group of want-a-be race car drivers that meet in the Man Cave every Monday night. The flavors are simple but go so well together. We like all our veggies crisp tender so you may need to increase the cooking time a little to suit your taste.
