Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 6 slices bacon
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 small head cabbage, thinly sliced
• 5 tablespoons corn bread mix
• 2 fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and julienned
• 0.5 cup chopped onion
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place the shredded cabbage into a large bowl, and sprinkle the sugar over it. This will remove the excess water from the cabbage. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside, reserving grease in skillet.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the cornbread mix and cayenne pepper. Stir into the cabbage until well blended. In the skillet the bacon was cooked in, saute onion and jalapeno in the hot bacon grease until tender. Stir in cabbage, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the cabbage wilts, about 15 minutes. Stir in crumbled bacon, and serve immediately.
