A delightful German-inspired side dish combining green beans, cabbage, and crispy bacon for a flavorful experience.
Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, then remove and set aside.
Cook the bacon slowly to render out the fat and achieve a crispy texture.
In the same skillet, add the vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper to the bacon drippings, stirring to combine.
Deglaze the pan with the vinegar to incorporate all the flavorful bits from the bacon.
Add the onion and cabbage to the skillet, cover, and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes.
Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
Crumble the cooked bacon and add it to the skillet along with the green beans, mixing well.
Ensure the green beans are evenly coated with the dressing for maximum flavor.
Heat through and serve warm as a side dish.
Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its best flavor and texture.
