Southern Fried Cabbage

​

From the December/January 2021 issue of Eat Drink Mississippi

 

12 ounces bacon

1 head cabbage

1 medium sweet onion

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon vinegar (white or apple cider)

1 tablespoon minced garlic, or 2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 tablespoon brown sugar

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: freshly grated sharp cheddar

​

Chop and add bacon to a large pot over medium heat. Cook until your desired crispiness. Remove bacon from pot and set aside. 

​

In the remaining bacon fat, add chopped cabbage and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. 

​

Chop and add onion to the pot, continuing to cook until onions are translucent. 

​

Add Worcestershire, vinegar, and brown sugar. Combine all ingredients and let cook for 25 minutes or until cabbage is soft. Stir frequently. 

​

Once cabbage is cooked, add bacon to the cabbage mixture, reserving some to sprinkle on top of each serving. Top with cheddar if desired and enjoy!
