Are you a fan of cabbage?! For the most part, I can take it or leave it, it's just okay to me .... unless you're talking about this Southern Bacon-Fried Cabbage. Goot Lort!

We're talking four ingredients - cabbage, onion, garlic, and bacon ... along with a few seasonings. Somehow, it cooks into this mesmerizing dish that I cannot stop eating! I could totally understand chocolate cake friends, but we're talking about cabbage!! Cabbage!!


I don't know what it is about Southern Bacon-Fried Cabbage, but like I said, I cannot stop eating it when it's made! I find myself grabbing a spoon from the drawer to get a taste .... you know, you have to taste test when you're cooking! Five minutes later, the same thing! The great thing is my family digs this side dish just as much as I do, so there are never any leftovers! Which, I guess depending on how you look at it, that's a good thing! The only problem is that it means there is less for me ... which maybe that's why I have to "taste-test" it so much?! I have to make sure I get my fair portion!! :D

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients 

• 6 slices bacon, chopped
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced

Stir in the cabbage and continue to cook and stir for 4-5 minutes. Add the seasoned salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder. Mix well.
