Southern Fried Cabbage is a classic comfort dish featuring tender cabbage cooked with crispy bacon and onions for a flavorful side.

  • Total Time: 30 mins
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 small green cabbage (about 2 pounds), cored and chopped
  • 5 slices bacon, coarsely chopped
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1/3 cup chicken broth
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon from the pan using a slotted spoon and leave the bacon fat in the skillet.
  2. Add the onion to the pan. Cook until translucent—about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the cabbage and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage reaches your desired tenderness.
  5. Return the bacon to the skillet and stir to combine. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use thick-cut bacon for extra crispiness.
  • Adjust seasoning to your preference.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit bacon and use olive oil.
