Notes
To make this a speedier weeknight side dish, pre-slice the cabbage, celery, onion, and bacon ahead of time.
In step 2 above, if you're using precooked bacon, heat in the skillet enough for the bacon to warm through.
If you prefer your fried cabbage more "al dente" with a bit of crunch, cook for 5-7 minutes. If you want the cabbage fall apart tender, cook for 15 minutes.
Keep in the fridge for 2-4 days in an air-tight container. Reheat in the microwave for 1 minute or on the stovetop in a skillet for 3-4 minutes.
To freeze: allow cabbage to fully cool and place in an air-tight container or freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge or at room temperature for a few hours.
