How to Make Creamed Cabbage And Bacon

  1. Thinly slice the bacon and set aside.
  2. Core the cabbage and thinly shred it.
  3. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving the bacon grease in the pan.
  4. Add the chopped onion to the pan with the bacon grease and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Add the shredded cabbage and 1/2 cup of water to the pan. Season with salt and white pepper.
  6. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
  7. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and the heavy cream.
  8. Add the cooked bacon back to the pan.
  9. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
