Instructions
To begin, gather your ingredients so that you have everything nearby on the counter or table.
Prepare the Ingredients
Using a sharp knife and cutting board, shred the cabbage. Chop the sweet onion and green and red bell peppers.
In a small bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, and water, stirring well until sugar is dissolved.
Cook the Cabbage Dish
In a large skillet, cook the bacon until it is nicely brown and crisp. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Crumble into small pieces. Set aside.
In the remaining fat drippings, saute the prepared sweet onion and bell peppers for 2-3 minutes.
Add in the shredded cabbage.
Pour the sweet and sour sauce over the cabbage and stir to combine. Season with the celery seed, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Cover and simmer until the cabbage is tender for about 20-25 minutes, stirring often.
Before serving, sprinkle crumbled bacon over the top.
Place in a pretty bowl and serve warm. This recipe will serve 4 people.
