Fry the (6) bacon slices. While bacon fries, core the cabbage. Chop the cabbage and onions. Remove bacon from the pan and set aside on a paper towel to drain.
Add chopped onions to the bacon drippings in the skillet and saute.
Add chopped cabbage and stir well coating with onions and bacon drippings. Place lid on cabbage and reduce heat to simmer.
Deseed the jalapenos and chop. Use more or less if desired. Add jalapenos to the cabbage mixture in the skillet.
Salt and pepper to taste. I use lots of pepper at this point.
Add crumbled bacon. Stir together and recover with the lid. The cabbage does not need any water added to the skillet. It will cook down so don't be alarmed if your skillet looks super full. You only need to cook this until tender... you don't want to cook all the nutrients out. Don't forget to stir this well, you don't want any cabbage or onion pieces getting burned left on the bottom.
Best served hot, but leftovers the next day are delicious as well. Just a bit spicier as the jalapenos have sat. This is a wonderful side dish to just about any meal, but my favorite is meatloaf and brisket!
