👩🍳 Instructions:
Step 1: Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until it’s crisp and golden.
Step 2: Drain and Chop
Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Once cooled slightly, chop into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Step 3: Sauté Aromatics
Using the bacon drippings in the skillet, add the minced garlic and diced onion.
Sauté over medium heat, stirring frequently, until softened and fragrant.
Step 4: Add the Cabbage
Stir in the shredded cabbage, mixing thoroughly with the garlic and onion.
Let it cook down for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Step 5: Layer in Flavor
Sprinkle the chopped bacon back into the skillet.
Pour in ½ cup of water, then season with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika.
Step 6: Simmer to Perfection
Reduce the heat and stir gently.
Simmer for a few minutes, allowing the liquid to cook off and the flavors to come together beautifully.
Step 7: Final Touch
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve hot and enjoy the rich, savory blend of textures and tastes.
🥕 Optional Add-In: Carrots
For a pop of color and a hint of sweetness, feel free to toss in thinly sliced or shredded carrots. They complement the savory notes and bring an added layer of depth to the dish.
