Cabbage and Bacon

Everything is better with Bacon, right?  Including cabbage and peas.  This quick and easy side goes well with yesterday's pork.  Serves 8.

  8 Slices Bacon                                                      3 Tbl Butter

  8 Cups Cabbage, Coarsely Chopped                       1 Tsp Salt

  1 Cup Frozen Peas                                                1/2 Tsp Pepper

In a large pot, cook bacon over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pot; let cool, then crumble and set aside. 

Add butter to the bacon fat - melt butter then add remaining ingredients to the pot. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook 20 to 25 minutes, or until cabbage is tender, stirring frequently.

Sprinkle with crumbled bacon, toss, and serve.
