Ingredients

• 6 slices Bacon
• 4 cups Green cabbage
• 1 cup Carrots
• 0.5 cup Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

1. Prepare the vegetables: Finely shred the cabbage, grate the carrots, and thinly slice the red onion. Set aside.

Step 2

2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 7-10 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Once cool, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

Step 3

3. Drain most of the bacon grease from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan for flavor. Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt over medium heat.

Step 4

4. Add the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and sliced onion to the skillet. Sauté the vegetables, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until they begin to soften and caramelize slightly.

Step 5

5. Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the cooked vegetables. Mix well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.

Step 6

6. Drizzle the apple cider vinegar over the vegetables and toss to combine. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

7. Stir in the crumbled bacon, ensuring it is evenly mixed throughout the coleslaw.

Step 8

8. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the fried coleslaw to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 9

9. Serve immediately as a warm side dish or as a topping for burgers, sandwiches, or tacos. Enjoy!
