How to Make Kittencal's Fried Cabbage With Bacon

  1. Chop 4 slices of bacon into 1/2-inch pieces. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a bowl or plate and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet.
  3. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add 1 medium head of cabbage (about 2 pounds), thinly sliced, to the skillet. Pour in 1/2 cup of chicken broth (or water) and 1 tablespoon of sugar.
  5. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is wilted and tender, about 15-20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional) during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  6. Stir in the cooked bacon and serve immediately.
