I love elegant, fine dining food, eating out at the newest restaurant, travel food finds and finding hole in the wall restaurant spots. But there is just something about home-cooked, comfort food. When I am missing Louisiana food, cabbage is definitely one of my go to meals.
I recently made Cabbage and Bacon and people were interested in the recipe. It’s so easy and only needs a few ingredients. I have a few different recipes but this is one of the easiest ones.

- Cut bacon into pieces. I like thick cut bacon best in my cabbage. Set aside.
- Cut the bacon into pieces. Remove the core.
- Add Olive oil to the pot. Heat the oil.
- Brown the bacon in the hot pot until crispy. Use a slotted spoon or catch the bacon grease in a bowl. Add to a plate lined with paper towel to remove the excess grease. Set aside.
- Use the bacon grease and saute the onion and bell pepper.
- Once the onions begin to sweat, add the cabbage.
- Add the cabbage brown, stirring often. Begin browning for about 5 - 8 minutes.
- Add one container of chicken stock. The stock will add more flavor.
- Add the bacon in and stir.
- Turn fire to medium to low heat. Season with onion powder, garlic powder, seasoning. *Watch the seasoning because bacon has it's own salt and you don't want to over salt.
- Cabbage makes its own water after a while. Cook until the cabbage is tender. Usually about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally. I like my cabbage with some of the juice left in it.
- Serve alone or with Rice.
- Enjoy.
