Introduction

Because cabbage is a tradition in the south, I cook this only on New Years Day. But you can cook this any time of year and tweak to suit your dietary needs.

Ingredients

    1/2 head cabbage
    1 med. onion
    1/2 c green bell pepper
    2 cloves garlic
    3 slices thick cut bacon
    3 tsp bacon grease
    1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
    Lowery's season salt to taste

Tips

You can cut down the grease if you like but it will change the taste and I only cook this for New Years day.
Serve with black eyed peas, cornbread and baked pork chops.


Directions

Slice cabbage into 1/4's and then slice into strips. Cut onion in 1/2 and into 1/4 inch slivers, dice bell pepper. Mince garlic. Cut bacon into 1/2 inch pieces.
Fry bacon until done, place a layer of cabbage, onion, bell pepper & garlic on top of bacon & grease, continue to layer until all veggies are in pan and turn to medium high heat. Cook turning over everything about 6 times. Put lid on skillet and check every 5 minutes until cabbage/onion/garlic/peppers are done. Add in a sprinkle of red pepper flakes and some Lowery's seasoning salt to taste (not very much).
