Southern Fried Cabbage
This one-pan fried cabbage is rich, savory, and slightly sweet. The bacon adds depth, the cabbage cooks down tender, and it’s ready in under 30 minutes.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 6 slices diced thick-cut bacon
- ½ medium sliced yellow onion
- 6 cups chopped green cabbage
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt or more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or more to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, add 6 slices diced thick-cut bacon and cook until fried and crispy, about 7-8 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside. Remove most of the bacon grease from the skillet, but leave 2 tablespoons of bacon grease to cook the onion and cabbage.
- Add ½ medium sliced yellow onion and 6 cups chopped green cabbage to the skillet. Cook and stir until the onion and cabbage are tender, about 8 minutes.
- Season with 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the cooked bacon back to the skillet and stir to combine. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Storage & Reheating Instructions
- In the Refrigerator: Store any cooled leftovers in an airtight container. They will keep for up to 4 days in the fridge.
- Reheating: To keep your cabbage from becoming soggy, I recommend reheating it over the stove on medium heat until warmed through.
