   Cook bacon.: In a dutch oven or large skillet with deep sides, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate. Set aside.

   Add bacon and butter.: Add the bacon and butter and stir until the butter is melted and the bacon is evenly distributed.

6. 6

   Serve.: Taste the fried cabbage and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately.
