5. Add the chopped bacon on top, use ⅓ cup of water as needed to steam the cabbage, season with salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle with onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika.
6. Stir to combine, reduce the heat, and continue to cook for another two minutes or until the liquid evaporates, stirring occasionally.
7. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve immediately and enjoy!
