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
- 1/2 tsp cajun seasoning
- salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, to taste
Instructions
- In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, cook the chopped bacon over medium-high heat until crispy, about 5-8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon and place it in a bowl, reserving some drippings in the pan.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onions to the skillet. Sauté until they are soft and translucent, around five minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in the chopped cabbage along with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well, then cover and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the cabbage is tender, remove the lid and add the cooked bacon back to the skillet. If desired, sprinkle with red pepper flakes and serve immediately.
Notes
Thick cut bacon gives a better texture and flavor.
