The best bacon fried cabbage
One of our all-time favorite recipes to prepare is bacon-fried cabbage. With just a few basic ingredients, it is simple to prepare and produces a flavorful and delicious side dish. Four simple ingredients—cabbage, onion, garlic, and bacon—along with a few seasonings—are all that are required. Bacon and garlic must be the recipe’s secret ingredients because they make it so unbelievably tasty! It is so excellent that once you try it, you’ll be making it repeatedly!
You should try this recipe if you’ve never fried or sautéed cabbage before. Besides affordable, it may be made with a variety of toppings. You could, for instance, use sausage in place of the bacon, or for a vegetarian option you could just use potatoes. In addition, we prefer to use only salt, pepper, and a tiny touch of paprika to give it a smokey flavor. Every time we prepare this dish, which is one of our favorites, we can’t stop eating it.
