Beered Up Cabbage Recipe

Ingredients for Beered Up Cabbage

• 6 slices bacon, diced

• 1 cup beer (any kind, but a darker beer works well)
• Caraway Seed
• Prepared Yellow Mustard
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• Salt And Pepper

How to Make Beered Up Cabbage

1. Dice 6 slices of bacon and cook in a large skillet over medium heat until almost crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving about 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet.
2. Add 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, to the skillet and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add 1 medium head of green cabbage, thinly sliced, to the skillet and stir until well coated with the bacon grease and onion. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. In a 2-cup measuring cup, whisk together 1 cup of beer, 1 teaspoon caraway seeds, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. The mixture may get foamy.
5. Pour the beer mixture over the cabbage in the skillet. Stir well to combine using an egg spatula.
6. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook until the cabbage is tender, about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
7. Stir in the cooked bacon during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
8. Serve hot and enjoy! Consider adding a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
