Tangy Sautéed Cabbage and Onions with Bacon

Tangy Sautéed Cabbage and Onions with Bacon

I found this recipe for tangy sautéed cabbage and onions with bacon on Closet Cooking that I thought would be perfect for a side dish to the corned beef and smashed red potatoes I was making for dinner.  My husband loved this cabbage so much that he had three helpings with dinner and the rest of us liked it too.

How to Make Tangy Sautéed Cabbage and Onions with Bacon

Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy and cooked through. Remove the bacon and place it on paper towels to drain. Chop into crumbles.

Place the onion into the skillet with the bacon grease and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes, or until tender. Side Note: My bacon was very lean so I had very little bacon grease in the skillet so I added a bit of olive oil cooking spray.

Add the cabbages to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes, or until softened.

Add the bacon crumbles, sugar, and apple cider vinegar then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste; stir to combine and cook for another minute until the liquid evaporates. Taste and re-season if needed. Serve immediately. Enjoy.

  1. This is basically what my dad used to make for cabbage sandwiches when we were kids. Funny that I never liked cabbage at that time, but when my dad would make those sandwiches, I would just devour them!! Must have been all the love that went into them 🙂 Now, I would eat cabbage like this quite often, but Chris would probably call off our wedding!!! lol

  2. I’ve made two of kevin’s recipes this week…they are always so good! Loving this cabbage…I bet the bacon could even get the.boy to eat it!

  3. Looks like a really good cabbage dish Pam. When I was a kid, my mom just boiled cabbage in water and somewhere along the line she put ketchup on it to get us kids to eat it – I still like it that way.
