• Add the cabbage, bring the liquid back to a simmer over low heat and cover the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is very tender, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, if needed. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a microwave or a small pot and drizzle over the cabbage. Just before serving, top with the reserved bacon.
