Bacon and Cabbage
A simple yet hearty dish that combines crispy bacon with tender cabbage, making it a comforting meal for any occasion.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 strips bacon, cut into smaller pieces adds savory flavor and fat
- 1 medium cabbage, cored & chopped provides texture and moisture
- 1 medium onion, chopped enhances flavor with sweetness
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional) adds depth and warmth
- Salt & pepper to taste for seasoning
Instructions
Cooking
- Start by placing the bacon pieces in a large skillet over medium heat. Allow the bacon to cook until it's browned and crispy, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the bacon pieces from the skillet and set them aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
- In the same skillet with the remaining bacon fat, add the chopped onion. Sauté until the onions become translucent and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well and continue to cook until the cabbage is tender and slightly wilted, about 5-7 minutes.
- When the cabbage has softened, return the cooked bacon to the skillet. If using smoked paprika, sprinkle it in at this time. Heat everything together for another 2-3 minutes.
Notes
For best results, cook the bacon slowly to achieve a nice crispness without burning. Consider adding a splash of vinegar or lemon juice before serving to brighten flavors.
