6 pieces of bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 small onion, diced

3 garlic cloves, minced

2 tablespoons stone ground mustard (or Dijon mustard)

¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

1 head of cabbage, sliced and chopped

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS:

Cook the Bacon: In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set it aside, leaving about two tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet.

Sauté the Onion: Add the diced onion to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until soft.

Add Garlic and Seasonings: Stir in the garlic, mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute.
