BACON FRIED CABBAGE

1 Medium Cabbage Head
1 Medium Onion, sliced

In a skillet fry the cut up bacon and remove from the grease. Save the grease. Cut up the cabbage in medium sized pieces. Slice or chop the onion. Mince the garlic. Put the cabbage and onion and garlic in the hot bacon grease. Add the cooked bacon. Then add the salt and pepper. Do not use a lot of salt as the bacon grease is salty. Might need to add a little cooking oil along with the grease. Fry this down but do not let it scorch. I don't like mine brown. Serve with cornbread.
