A friend of mine shared a cabbage and bacon side dish photo on her Facebook page and I thought it looked delicious. My husband likes cabbage and loves bacon and I thought he would really enjoy the side dish.
A recipe wasn’t shared so I thought I would throw it together and serve the side dish with pork chops for a weeknight dinner.
To make this dish you will need the following
Fresh cabbage chopped. I used half of a cabbage and it was enough for 4 servings.
A pound of diced bacon (I used farmland Hickory Smoked)
Dice 2 medium-sized white potatoes
Dice a half of a white onion
black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons of bacon drippings (from the frying pan)
2 cup water
Recipe directions:
Cook the bacon in a large-size saute pan, drain off all of the drippings except for the 2 tablespoons. Add the diced onions and saute with the bacon, turn often to make sure the onion is cooked on all sides, then add the 1/2 cup of water, followed by the cabbage and the potatoes saute on medium heat, turning the ingredients often so that it cooks thoroughly and doesn’t burn. Turn the heat down to simmer and cover the saute pan with a lid, cook for another 5 minutes. Before serving season with black pepper to taste.
This side dish was enjoyed by my family. It really tastes good and was comforting on a chilly fall day.
Here are some photos.
