6 c. coarsely cut up cabbage
3 tbsp. bacon fat
1 lb. brats or beef franks
1/2-1 tsp. salt
Pepper to taste

Heat fat in large skillet or electric fry pan. Add cabbage, spreading it out level. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover; reduce heat and cook gently, shaking skillet occasionally to prevent sticking. After cooking 3 minutes, approximately, turn cabbage. Lay brats or franks on top of cabbage in skillet; replace cover and continue cooking for about 4 minutes or until cabbage is soft and slightly crisp. Push cabbage to one side of skillet and allow meat to brown for 2 to 3 minutes until heated through. Serve piping hot.
