Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Chop the cabbage into small pieces and remove the core. Place the chopped cabbage in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover it. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
2
While the cabbage is cooking, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the cooked bacon from the skillet and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
3
Once the cabbage is cooked, drain it in a colander and return it to the pot. Add the chopped onion, butter, milk, salt, and pepper to the pot and stir until the cabbage is well coated.
4
Add the cooked bacon to the pot and stir until it is well combined with the cabbage mixture.
