Ingredients

  • 4 slices bacon
  • 4 tbsp salted butter
  • 1 medium head green cabbage cored & thinly sliced
  • 2 cans corned beef
  • 1/4 cup water
  • freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Sauté the bacon in a heavy bottomed, deep skillet turning them as needed. Once crispy, remove the strips to a waiting plate topped with a layer of paper towels to drain off the excess grease.
  • Do not drain the grease from the skillet. Keep the skillet over medium low heat, and add the butter to the skillet.
  • Once the butter's melted, add the shredded cabbage. Gently toss the cabbage to evenly coat it in the butter mixture.
  • Add the water to the skillet and stir. Add the cracked pepper to the cabbage, and stir seasoning to your desired amount.
  • Cover the skillet, raise the heat to medium, and let everything simmer for 10 minutes- or until the cabbage has caramelized.
  • Open the can of corned beef and turn it out onto a cutting board. Chop the corned beef into chunks. No worries about size, it will break up more in the skillet.
  • Add the corned beef to the skillet, and continue cooking another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to crisp the corned beef
  • Roughly chop the crisped bacon.
  • Serve the corned beef & cabbage topped with crisped bacon bits.
