Perfect for your meal plans, fried cabbage is an easy throw-together recipe. Enjoy it on its own or as a side to go with Buttery Cauliflower Mash, Roast Chicken, Pork Roast, or a juicy Pan Seared Steak With a Mushroom Cream Sauce.
FRIED CABBAGE
Deliciously seasoned tender fried cabbage and onions with crispy bacon is a family favourite. A quick one pot recipe suitable for any time of the year. The best thing is it’s inexpensive and reheats perfectly in your microwave. Warning, it is addictive!
HOW TO MAKE FRIED CABBAGE
There are so many different variations of fried cabbage online, but this is the recipe my family and I have loved for many years! Why? Because, for ultimate flavour and true southern style cooking, you’re going to fry your shredded cabbage in bacon grease. YES! The flavour alone will change your life. But you don’t need to go looking for bacon grease. You’re going to fry bacon first, get it nice and crisp, then remove it with a slotted spoon to keep as much grease in your pan as possible. I love using a cast iron skillet for this recipe because: If you don’t have a cast-iron pan, use a good quality nonstick pan to prevent the bacon from sticking.
SEASONING
One ingredient I love adding to our fried cabbage is Cajun seasoning. I use Slap Ya Mama, but feel free to use one you already have on hand. You can replace it with a smoky, sweet or mild paprika, depending on your taste preference.
OPTIONAL ADD INS
You can add a few other ingredients to fried cabbage to make it your own:
Smoked sausage instead of bacon 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 1-2 teaspoons sugar (brown or white). For Keto readers, use a substitute sweetener, like Swerve or Natvia.
