Ingredients
  

  • pork bacon strips thick-cut
  • medium cabbage head about 3 lbs. roughly chopped
  • medium onion diced
  • medium red bell pepper diced
  • ⅓ cup of water
  • ¼ tbsp. red pepper flakes
  • tbsp. hot sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  1. In a large non-stick skillet, sauté the bacon, bell pepper, and onion over medium heat for 7 minutes.
  2. Add the red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper, and stir well.
  3. Add the water and chopped cabbage to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 20-25 minutes, or until the water evaporates.*
  4. Once the water evaporates, keep frying the cabbage for about 10 minutes.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the hot sauce. Serve.
  6. Notes
  7. Some cabbage varieties cook faster than others. Adjust the cooking time, if necessary. If needed, add a little bit more water.

  10. Use chicken sausage instead

  14. You can use any type of bacon you prefer – regular, turkey or even vegan. Just remember that turkey bacon and vegan bacon are not oily enough, so you’ll need to add additional oil or butter.
