Description
This Crispy Pan-Fried Cabbage with Bacon & Onions is a delightful blend of flavors, featuring crispy bacon and tender cabbage, offering a delicious side or main dish that’s simple to prepare and perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 slices bacon, chopped into small pieces
- 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. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a bowl and leave some drippings in the pan.
- Lower the heat to medium and add chopped onions to the pan. Sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the chopped cabbage, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Mix well, then cover and cook on medium low for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the cabbage is tender, stir in the reserved bacon and sprinkle with red pepper flakes if you desire. Serve hot.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider using thick-cut bacon as it adds more crispiness to the dish.
This dish can be served as a hearty side or a satisfying main dish, perfect for any meal.
Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more Cajun seasoning if preferred.
