While you wait for the heat to turn up, slice the half head of cabbage. Cut it into bite-sized pieces.
Once bacon starts sizzling, turn the heat down to medium high. Use a spatula to mix the bacon up and cook it more evenly.
Cook the bacon, stirring every minute, for about 7 minutes or until it is crisp to your liking. Remove the bacon from the skillet, leaving behind the bacon grease.
Add cabbage pieces to skillet. Mix it in with the bacon grease and check that the heat is at medium high. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring every minute, or until cabbage is tender to your liking.
