Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 strips of bacon
  • 1 onion diced
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 head cabbage cut into large chunks
  • 1 lb potatoes cut into chunks
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth

Instructions
 

  • Cook the bacon in a large pot or skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, until crispy. Remove the bacon and set it aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
  • Sauté the onions in the bacon fat for about 3-5 minutes, until softened and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  • Add the cabbage and potatoes to the pot, stirring to coat them in the bacon fat and aromatics.
  • Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, then add the beef broth along with the cooked bacon. Stir everything together.
  • Cover the pot and let the mixture simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage and potatoes are tender.
  • Once the vegetables are tender, remove the lid and let the liquid evaporate, cooking for an additional 5-10 minutes, until most of the broth has reduced.
