Ingredients

1 head cabbage thinly chopped
4 Italian sausages casing removed
3 slices bacon cubed small
1 small onion diced
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tbsp tomato paste sub for sun dried tomato
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp fennel seeds
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a large skillet cook bacon until crunchy (about 8 minutes). Transfer bacon bits to a plate leaving bacon fat in the pan.
Sauté onion and garlic until slightly golden (2 min)
Stir in sausage, cook until no longer pink (7-8 min). Season with salt, pepper, paprika, fennel seeds and tomato paste.
Add cabbage and toss. Turn heat down to low, cover, and continue to cook (15-18 min). Be sure to toss and turn every few minutes so all the cabbage cooks through. Covering the skillet helps to cook down the cabbage. Low heat will ensure there are no burned pieces.
When done top with bacon bits and serve.

Notes
