Southern Fried Cabbage

Makes 8-10 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 large head of cabbage roughly chopped
  • 8 slices thick cut bacon diced
  • 1 yellow onion {I like Vidalia} diced
  • 2 tbsp butter optional
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Add diced bacon to a large saute pan and cook over medium heat until crispy. Do not drain.
  • Add onions and cook until softened and browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Add cabbage, half at a time if you need to, and mix with the bacon and onions. Cook until it is softened.
  • If you want to add even more flavor add a couple tablespoons of butter and stir until combined.
  • Season with salt and black pepper.
  • Serve warm with Hoppin' John Black Eyed PeasĀ and Broccoli Cornbread.

Notes

I have also seen recipes that call for a splash of apple cider vinegar or fresh garlic.
Did you make this Recipe?Tag @flchefnicole or hashtag #fortheloveoffoodblog
For the recipe I use a large, about 3 1/2 lb, head of cabbage.
 If you use a smaller cabbage adjust the bacon accordingly {cut to about 5-6 slices}. 
Add diced bacon to a large skillet and cook over medium heat until crispy.
Dice a large yellow onion.
Add the onion to the crispy bacon. Do not drain the bacon grease. 
This is what you are cooking the onion and cabbage in {and why it is called “fried cabbage”}.
Roughly chop the cabbage. It looks like a lot but it will cook down I promise.
Add cabbage, half at a time if you need to, and mix with the bacon and onions.
Cook until it is softened.
You can add a couple tablespoons of diced butter and mix in if you’d like.
Season with salt and pepper. I like extra black pepper in mine.
Serve with a bowl of Hoppin’ John from the Crock-Pot. 
And a big slice of Broccoli Cornbread. 
Happy New Year 2016 from the Hood family!

    I made this a few nights ago for supper. I ran out of bacon but had some leftover spiral sliced ham. Used that with a little butter and followed reminder of recipe exactly. It wAs soon good. Only one problem, we ate it all before I remembered to take a picture. Lol. Shows how good it was. Will definitely make again.
