Description
This Crispy Pan-Fried Cabbage with Bacon & Onions is a must-try for its mouthwatering flavor and easy prep. It’s perfect for a quick dinner, using simple ingredients like bacon, onions, and cabbage.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 slices bacon, chopped into small pieces (preferably thick cut)
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 large green cabbage, chopped into square pieces (about 8 cups)
- 1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning
- Salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet or dutch oven, cook the chopped bacon over medium-high heat until crispy, about 5-8 minutes. Remove the bacon using a slotted spoon and place in a bowl. Drain half of the bacon drippings, leaving some in the pan for flavor.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onions. Sauté for about five minutes until they are soft and translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in the chopped cabbage along with the Cajun seasoning and season with salt and pepper. Mix well. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the cabbage is tender, uncover and mix in the reserved bacon. Add red pepper flakes if desired and serve hot.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider using smoked bacon.
Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or carrots for variation.
