Fried Cabbage with Bacon and Garlic

1.22.20 We really enjoyed this, and the first thing that came to mind was what a great side dish this would be to grilled white German brats. Next time, I’ll cut back just a bit on both the amount of bacon and the red pepper flakes, but that’s simply personal taste. Good stuff, thanks for sharing!

My family likes the way this dish came out . This year I'm thinking about adding this to my corn beef instead of the traditional cabbage wedges with carrots .

We are vegetarian so I added meatless breakfast strips instead of the bacon and yummy yummy .. no left overs.

I added a tablespoon of caraway seed and about 3 cups of spaetzle dumplings. Unbelievably good!

Love this

This recipe is pretty easy and absolutely delicious. Either as a side or a main course, it is just excellent. I did not use the pepper flakes as I ma intolerant to them. Also, I had savoy cabbage at the time so I used it. OMG! Talking about trying something good! This will be included in my rotation. Personally, I think this recipe has enough grease from the bacon to cook it. However, depending on the volume of your cabbage, you may need to add the olive oil. Will absolutely make it again!!!

No it was great

I really loved this recipe!!!!! Next time I will leave off the chili flakes because it made it a little spicy for my husband who doesn't want even a hint of heat. I will always use this recipe for fried cabbage. It is a keeper!!!!!

I'm not familiar with cooking cabbage or what I think of as German-esque food, just because I wasn't exposed to it growing up (we're a turnip green/mustard green family). My husband's family are of German descent and his family's staple diet was American German-based...including 100 ways to cook cabbage. His parents have passed I wanted to bring back some of his old comfort foods. Deciding to start with cabbage, I chose this recipe because, well, BACON. He really liked it. I have a hard time rating it personally because I'm not quite to the point of liking the taste of cabbage. I added red pepper flakes to bump up the flavor. I cooked the cabbage in the bacon grease and in the future will probably decrease the amount because the cabbage tended to be a little greasy. Other than that, he was really happy with the dish and I'm happy to give him something that tastes like childhood.

No changes were made and it was delicious! My other half is an extremely picky eater and he loved it! Thanks!
