Fried Cabbage with Bacon and Onions

1 medium head green cabbage, chopped loosely
3 slices bacon, chopped
1/4 large onion or 1/2 small to medium onion, chopped
1 TBSP Worcestershire sauce (optional)
1 stalk of celery (optional)
salt & pepper to taste

How to make it :

In a large pan cook the chopped bacon over medium to medium-high heat. 
Once the fat renders off and there's plenty of bacon grease in the pan,
add the chopped onion. 
Right when the bacon has just started to crisp, add the chopped cabbage,
salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce (optional).  (also celery if desired)
Stir occasionally until cabbage is softened.  Leave some pieces to get a
little pan browned so don't stir very often.
Taste before serving as you may need to add more salt and pepper
depending on your preference.

Carolina Cole Slaw

No Mayo, so more likely not to kill people @ picnics which don't have enough ice

Ingredients

• 1 large head of cabbage, finely shredded
• 1 medium bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1 medium sweet onions, finely chopped
• 2 carrots, grated or julienned*

Dressing:

• 1 cup granulated sugar**
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2/3 cup neutral flavor vegetable oil***
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1 teaspoon celery seed
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 cup white or apple cider vinegar

Combine the shredded cabbage, chopped bell pepper and chopped onions, and the grated or julienne carrots in a large serving bowl.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine remaining ingredients; bring to a boil.

Simmer, stirring, until sugar is dissolved; cool slightly, then pour over vegetables and toss well.

Cover and refrigerate the salad until thoroughly chilled.

The recipe makes enough slaw for 8 to 10 servings.

 *A julienne peeler makes beautiful julienne strands of carrot, perfect for any salad or coleslaw.
***Use a neutral-flavored oil, such as corn oil, grapeseed, safflower, peanut, or canola.

Cabbage & Noodles with Bacon

1 head of cabbage, chopped
1 pound of bacon*
1 large onion, chopped
2-3 large handfuls of egg noodles*
Black pepper

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crisp. 

Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels, then break into bite-sized pieces. (Warning: there’s a chance that you could end up snacking on the bacon bits while you’re finishing dinner. It’s been known to happen here.)

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to boil for the egg noodles. Add the noodles and cook until done. Drain the noodles and set aside.

Drain some of the bacon fat from the pan, reserving enough to cook the onions. 

Add the chopped onion to the pan and cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the onions begin to soften. 

Add the cabbage to the skillet and cook until tender, stirring occasionally. 

When the cabbage is tender, add the egg noodles and bacon, mixing thoroughly. 

Season with pepper. 

Serve immediately.
