There’s almost nothing better than a tasty bowl of Southern-style sautéed cabbage. It’s like warm coleslaw, and you get to cook it with bacon! This dish gets its sweetness from sugar, but the tangy and sour apple cider vinegar balances its out perfectly. And we all know that everything tastes better with a little bacon, which adds a nice saltiness and savory crunch, too. If you’ve never tried the recipe below, you should definitely serve it up as a side dish for your next dinner.
Sometimes, I turn this side dish into the main event. You can top the sautéed cabbage with a piece of grilled chicken, sautéed shrimp, or a pan-fried steak. Or, if you want to turn this into a one-dish meal, swap out the bacon for your favorite sausage. You can slice them into bite-sized pieces and cook them during the bacon step. When you’re finished, this side dish will be meaty enough to be an entree!
