Ingredients
- 1 large head cabbage (about 6-7 cups), chopped
- 4-5 slices bacon chopped into small pieces

Instructions
- Heat a large skillet (12-inch) over medium heat. Cook the bacon pieces until crispy, then transfer them to a plate lined with a paper towel.
- In the same skillet, cook the sausage slices until they are browned. Remove and set aside with the bacon.
