In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the skillet.

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet and stir well to combine with the onions and bacon drippings.

Sprinkle the garlic powder, black pepper, and salt over the cabbage. Stir to coat evenly.

Cover the skillet and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.

Add the apple cider vinegar and cooked bacon back to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
