Bacon Cabbage Skillet Meal is an easy dish to prepare on top of the stove and goes with just about anything.

1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1 (4 ounce) jar pimentos, drained
4 ounces cream cheese, cut into small pieces
few drops hot sauce or pinch or cayenne (Optional)
Cook bacon, drain, crumble and set aside. Melt butter in a large skillet, add bacon drippings or oil along with your chopped cabbage and onion. Sprinkle on black pepper, salt, minced garlic and ground mustard. Cook cabbage until tender and add pimentos, cream cheese and hot sauce. Cook until cream cheese is melted and stir in crumbled bacon. Makes six to eight servings.
