Ingredients

  • 1 lb bacon, diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 small head red cabbage, cut in half and thinly sliced
  • 1 lb brussel sprouts, quartered
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt, more or less to taste
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  • Place the bacon and diced onions in a large skillet and cook over medium high heat until it begins to brown and crisp.
  • Add the sliced red cabbage and quartered brussel sprouts. Cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until bacon is crisp and veggies are cooked through. (The cabbage will wilt and the brussel sprouts will begin to caramelize on the cut sides.)
