Recipe Summary Southern Fried Smothered Cabbage
I created this recipe because raising a family isn't cheap and cabbage is. To make this a one-dish meal, substitute the bacon with a pound of coined Polish sausage or kielbasa.Ingredients | Southern Recipe Cracklins4 strips bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces, or more to taste1 medium head cabbage - cored, cut into eighths, and sliced2 cups water½ teaspoon cayenne peppersalt to taste1 packet sugar substitute (such as Equal®) (Optional)DirectionsHeat a large, lidded cast iron pot over medium-high heat. Add bacon and fry until browned but not crispy, about 5 minutes. Quickly add cabbage pieces and water, in that order. Cover the pot with the lid and allow cabbage to steam, about 1 minute. Season with cayenne pepper and salt and boil for 15 minutes.Remove lid and reduce heat to a high simmer. Cook until all liquid has evaporated and cabbage is browning in the bottom of the pot and wilted but not soggy, about 10 minutes more. Scrape the bottom of the pot regularly and turn cabbage to prevent sticking.Info | Southern Recipe Cracklinsprep:
