Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) package bacon
0.25 cup bacon drippings
1 small head cabbage, cored and finely chopped
ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until it's nice and crispy, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Keep 1/4 cup of the bacon drippings in the skillet.
Toss the cabbage into the hot bacon drippings; cook and stir over medium heat until the cabbage starts to soften, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the cabbage. Stir well and let it simmer until the bacon is heated through, around 2 to 3 minutes. Season generously with black pepper to taste.
