Boiled Cabbage with Bacon

Ingredients

• 3 pounds cabbage, cored and chopped
• 1/2 pound thick-cut bacon, chopped
• 2 cups water, or more as needed
• 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Bring cabbage, bacon, 2 cups water, and vinegar to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered until cabbage is very tender, about 3 hours, adding more water as needed.

Whisk remaining 1/4 cup water and flour together in a small bowl and gradually add to cabbage mixture. Continue to simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
