Ingredients

1 lb shredded cabbage (any variety, the bagged cole slaw mixes work well)
1 onion, finely chopped
5 slices uncooked bacon
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
salt and pepper

Directions

1

Saute the onion and bacon in the olive oil in a large pot until the onion is softened and the bacon is cooked through; add the garlic and cook for about another two minutes, stirring frequently.
2

Add the cabbage to the pot; it will take up a lot of room but will wilt down as it cooks.
3

Cook until the cabbage is done, stirring frequently.
4

It will take about ten to twelve minutes; if you want a softer cabbage, cover the pot and let it steam for about an extra five minutes or so.
5

If desired, a little bit of sugar and vinegar can be added near the end of cooking time.
