Skillet-Fried Cabbage with Bacon

6/12/22

Easy skillet-fried cabbage with bacon made with minimal ingredients. This makes the perfect side dish!

Flavorful fried cabbage with bacon - a one=pot side dish with tons of southern flavor.

Hey cousins! Many years ago, I shared one of my fried cabbage recipes with y’all. Many of you loved the recipe, and still use it to this very day. However, a few cousins asked if I could share my fried cabbage recipe without using peppers, and broth.

The answer is yes!! Broth, and peppers are definitely an optional addition. I don’t always use make my fried cabbage the exact same way. Sometimes I just like really simple skillet-fried cabbage with bacon and onions.

This cabbage recipe is super easy to make, and you can use any type of cabbage for this recipe.

When it comes to bacon, I like using the fatty bacon ends because it renders more bacon grease. More bacon grease means more flavor for this side dish, in my opinion.

When I make this recipe, I like to pair it with my turkey meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Or maybe make a complete soul food meal with pigs feet, potato salad, and this cabbage.

Try my skillet-fried cabbage with bacon recipe, and tell me what you think!
