This Fried Cabbage with Onions and Bacon recipe is a savory and comforting dish that combines crispy bacon, sweet onions, and tender cabbage. Perfect as a side dish or light meal, it’s easy to make and packed with flavor!
In a large skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the grease in the skillet.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet and stir to coat it in the bacon grease. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and let it cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Uncover the skillet and season the cabbage with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
Stir in the cooked bacon and let it heat through for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Notes
Adjust the seasonings to your preference. Use turkey bacon or plant-based alternatives for a lighter or vegetarian version.
