For an extra dash of color, use a combination of green and purple cabbage. Make sure to cook your bacon until extra crisp so it holds up well in the recipe. To make this dish vegetarian, swap in your favorite plant-based bacon.

Ingredients

Extra virgin olive oil

2 Tbsp

Uncooked turkey bacon

2 slice(s)

Vidalia onion

1 medium, or Spanish onion, chopped

Granulated onion

1 tsp

Table salt

1 tsp

Black pepper

1 tsp

Green cabbage

1 head(s), large, cored and chopped (do not use Savoy)

Sugar

1 tsp

Apple cider vinegar

1 tsp

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until crisp. Remove bacon from pot and set aside.
  2. Add onion, granulated onion, salt, and pepper to same pot. Sauté over medium heat until onions are translucent and tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.
