How to Make

Add the pepper and salt to the skillet or pot, cover with a lid, and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring very frequently and cooking until the cabbage is tender and all water has evaporated.

  • Step 3: Mix the cooked bacon and the bacon grease into the cooked cabbage along with 3-4 tablespoons of butter. Season with more salt and pepper. Spoon into a serving bowl. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

  • Step 4: Before serving, stir in the butter.
