Ingredients

5 slices thick-cut bacon (chopped into 1/2-inch pieces)
1/2 large yellow onion (diced)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 (10-ounce) bags finely shredded cabbage (often labeled "angel hair coleslaw" )
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

In a large skillet or dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until it starts to crisp - about 5 minutes.
Add the diced onion to the pan and cook for about 5 more minutes or until the onions become soft and start to caramelize. Add the 2 tablespoons of butter and allow it to melt.
Add in the two bags of cabbage and stir until its well mixed with the onions and bacon. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, or until the cabbage becomes tender to your liking. Serve immediately.

Notes

Wanna spice it up? Sprinkle in a little cayenne pepper or add a few red pepper flakes.
