Jägerkohl - German Hunter Cabbage Stew

Warm your soul and nourish your body with this German hunter cabbage stew, aka Jägerkohl. Slowly simmered ground beef, bacon, kielbasa, and onions with cabbage and potatoes is a hearty, tasty comfort dish the whole family loves.
This healthy vegetable is popular in the winter season, and this particular Jägerkohl recipe is close to my heart, for I learned how to make it from my late German ex-mother-in-law. The recipe has many adaptations, so if you don't like venison, you can basically use whatever domestic meat you have on hand.
This stew is an easy freezer meal. To freeze this stew, chill it thoroughly in the refrigerator first, then divide it into single-serving portions and transfer to the freezer for up to three months. Properly stored, this soup will last for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. Keep leftovers in an airtight container.
This stew also works great in the slow cooker. Just add the browned meats and all of the other ingredients. Let it cook on low for 3-4 hours or until the vegetables are tender. When short on time, make this favorite German stew in an instant pot.

Sounds wonderful
This looks fabulous but I've never, ever seen bacon fried in any type of fat because it produces so much fat on its own. It's there a purpose to the extra oil? Couldn't the onions just be added once the bacon has rendered up some fat? Thanks for the recipe!
