Step 1

Chop the bacon and cook in the bottom of a lidded pot until the fat is rendered. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter and the onion and sauté about 4 minutes.

Step 2

Add a splash of water to the bottom of the pot to deglaze the browned bits in the bottom. Add half the cabbage, salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning. Cook and stir for several minutes.

Step 3

Add the remaining cabbage, stir, reduce to a low simmer, cover and cook for about 30 minutes, or until cabbage reaches the desired consistency, stirring several times.

Step 4

Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the cider vinegar; continue cooking until cabbage begins to caramelize, if desired, otherwise, taste and adjust salt and pepper, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes, if using.

Step 5

Serve as a side dish, along with some skillet cornbread.
