This bacon and cabbage recipe is quick & easy to make and only needs a handful of everyday ingredients! Serve it as-is for a low-carb meal or try it with noodles, potatoes, or rice.

Ingredients

  • 6 strips bacon (cut into smaller pieces)
  • 1 medium cabbage (cored & chopped)
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt & pepper (to taste)

Directions

  1. 1

    Cut the bacon into small pieces (I use kitchen shears to make this easy). Fry it in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until crispy (about 10 minutes). Once it's done, take the bacon out of the pan and leave about 2 tablespoons or so of the bacon fat in the pan.

  2. 2

    Add the onion to the skillet and sauté for 3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in the cabbage and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes (depending on how soft you want the cabbage to be).

  4. 4

    Towards the last minute or two of cooking, stir in the smoked paprika and add the bacon back to the pan. Season with salt & pepper as needed and serve immediately.
