Ingredients
Scale
- 6 slices bacon, chopped into small pieces
- 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
- Fry the chopped bacon in a large skillet over medium high heat until crispy, about 5-8 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside. Drain half of the bacon drippings from the skillet, keeping some in the pan for flavor.
- Lower the heat to medium and add the chopped onions, cooking until they are soft and translucent, about five minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in the chopped cabbage along with cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly and cover the pan, cooking on medium low for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the cabbage is tender, remove the lid and incorporate the bacon back into the skillet. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes to taste, and serve immediately.
Notes
For extra flavor, use thick-cut bacon as it adds a rich taste.
Feel free to adjust the seasoning based on your taste preferences.
Adding a splash of vinegar can enhance the flavors even more.
