Ingredients
Scale
- 6 slices bacon, chopped into small pieces (thick cut)
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 large green cabbage, chopped into square pieces (about 8 cups)
- 1/2 tsp cajun seasoning
- salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet or Dutch oven, fry the chopped bacon over medium high heat until crispy, about 5-8 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, draining about half of the drippings from the pan.
- Lower the heat to medium and add the chopped onions. Cook until they are soft and translucent, about five minutes, then add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet along with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well, reduce heat to medium-low, and cover. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the cabbage is tender, uncover and stir in the bacon. Season with red pepper flakes if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
Thick cut bacon gives a better texture and flavor but feel free to use your favorite type.
For a spicy kick, add extra Cajun seasoning or red pepper flakes based on your taste.
