My Grandmother's Cabbage and Noodles Recipe

Place water and butter in a large deep skillet and bring to a boil; stir in bacon and return to a boil.

Stir cabbage into the bacon mixture; simmer until the thickest pieces of cabbage are fork-tender and the liquid has almost evaporated about 20 minutes. Drain.

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in egg noodles and return to a boil. Cook noodles uncovered stirring occasionally until tender but still slightly firm about 5 minutes. Drain well.

Lightly toss egg noodles with bacon and cabbage; season to taste with salt and black pepper.
