Cook the bacon in a large pot, over a medium-high flame. Cook bacon down to desired level of doneness.

While bacon is cooking, cut cabbage into thinly sliced strips. (I like to do all of my chopping the night before, so I can enjoy more time socializing on Christmas Day while the food cooks)

Once the bacon has cooked down, add the cabbage. Do not drain any of the bacon fat. This grease is perfect for frying up the cabbage. Continue cooking until the cabbage has become flimsy and near-translucent.
