Ingredients
-
1 medium head of cabbage
1/2 a medium onion (yellow)
1 Tbsp bacon bits (not imitation)
Butter-flavored cooking spray (Pam)
Salt and pepper
Directions
1. Put on a pot of water to boil (should be enough to just cover the cabbage).
2. Chop the cabbage into thin wedges, then smaller if desired. Note: The smaller you chop it, the faster it will cook. Adjust cooking times accordingly.
3. Chop half a medium yellow onion* into short strips. Coat a nonstick frying pan with butter-flavored cooking spray and cook onions until just tender. Add 1 Tbsp real bacon bits*, stir, and reduce heat to very low or turn off.
4. When water begins to boil, drop in the cabbage.
Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Add more cooking spray to the frying pan. Transfer the cabbage from the water to the frying pan with the onions and bacon. Use a slotted spoon or tongs. (A little water will inevitably transfer over, too, but that is okay!)
6. Once it is transferred to the frying pan, coat the cabbage with butter-flavored cooking spray and stir to mix in the onions and bacon. Season with salt and pepper to taste (Nutritional info here includes 1 tsp of each). I prefer kosher salt and fresh ground pepper.
7. Cook in frying pan (covered) over low heat for another 2-4 minutes.
Enjoy!
*You might want to adjust ingredient amounts based on amount of cabbage you're cooking. It's a very forgiving recipe, though.
