How to Keep Bacon Crispy 🥓🔥

To keep your bacon chewy, crispy, and delicious, follow these steps:

  1. Fry the bacon until it’s crispy, then remove it from the pan and set it aside.

  2. If you leave the bacon in the pan too long, it may become soft and soggy. To prevent this, remove the bacon and only keep the bacon grease in the pan.

  3. Add the bacon back into the pan once most of the cabbage’s moisture has cooked out. This ensures that the bacon stays crispy and the cabbage absorbs all that smoky, meaty flavor.

Ingredients:

  • 4 strips of thick-cut bacon, diced 🥓

  • 3 tablespoons butter 🧈

  • 1 onion, diced 🧅

  • 6 cloves garlic, diced 🧄

  • 1 head of cabbage, diced 🥬

  • 1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt 🧂

Instructions:

  1. Cook the bacon: Cut the bacon into thick pieces and fry until crisp. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  2. Cook the onion: Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until melted and foamy. Add the chopped onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.

  3. Add the garlic: Add the garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant and soft, about 3 minutes.

  4. Cook the cabbage: Add the cabbage to the skillet and toss well to coat with butter. Season generously with salt.

  5. Cook down the cabbage: Allow the cabbage to reduce by half, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.

  6. Add bacon back: When the cabbage has lost much of its bulk and starts to turn shiny, slightly translucent, and has lovely golden-brown bits, add the crispy bacon back to the pan.

  7. Serve: Once the cabbage is cooked to your liking, serve immediately.

Storage & Leftovers:

  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.

  • For long-term storage, freeze the dish for up to three months.
