Recipe by JanetB-KY

A nice dish to go with any meat dinner. I like to sprinkle some vinegar over it when I eat it but that's a personal preference & not part of the original recipe. Posted for ZWT Three (The Zaar format is being ornery right now. This calls for 4 oz. bacon but no matter how I phrase it, it won't accept it.)

1

lb shredded cabbage (any variety, the bagged cole slaw mixes work well)
1

onion, finely chopped
5

slices uncooked bacon
2

tablespoons olive oil
1

garlic clove, crushed
salt and pepper

DIRECTIONS

Saute the onion and bacon in the olive oil in a large pot until the onion is softened and the bacon is cooked through; add the garlic and cook for about another two minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the cabbage to the pot; it will take up a lot of room but will wilt down as it cooks.
Cook until the cabbage is done, stirring frequently.
It will take about ten to twelve minutes; if you want a softer cabbage, cover the pot and let it steam for about an extra five minutes or so.
If desired, a little bit of sugar and vinegar can be added near the end of cooking time.
